WhatsApp continues to innovate and as part of its evolution has incorporated a new feature that allows sharing music directly across states, making it easier for users to play their favorite songs in a more dynamic, personal and searchable way. This update integrates sounds, songs and music fragments without the need to access the application, making the statuses more expressive and emotional.
To make the most of this new feature, we explain how the new option to share music on WhatsApp works and how to activate it.
COLLABORATION WITH SPOTIFY AND META MUSICAL LIBRARY
The new feature comes thanks to an official collaboration between WhatsApp and Spotify, in addition to using the Meta music library, which eliminates the need for improvised grabs or external tricks to add music.
The description is gradually being implemented on Android and iOS devices and is also available for free to Spotify Premium users. The goal is clear: to seek the experience of WhatsApp states in popular formats such as Instagram stories.
WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC CONTENT CAN YOU SHARE?
Through integration with Spotify, users can share:
- Songs
- albums
- Playlists
- podcasts
- Audiobooks
When you publish a music status, WhatsApp will generate a visual label with the content, title and direct link to Spotify. In addition, an audio fragment of approximately 15 seconds is added that can be played in WhatsApp, making it easier to discover music without changing platforms.
HOW DO I POST MUSIC ON WHATSAPP WITH SPOTIFY?
The procedure is simple:
- Open the Spotify app.
- Select the desired song, album or content.
- Tap “Share”.
- Select “WhatsApp Status”.
Before publishing, the user can customize the design, choose a background image and define the exact audio fragment that will be heard. As usual, the content remains visible for 24 hours.
ALTERNATIVE FOR QUEENES NO USA SPOTIFY
For those who don’t use Spotify, WhatsApp offers another option through its integrated music library managed by Meta.
From the status editor, it is possible to search for songs, select a fragment and add it to photos or videos, with options for visual customization and in some cases with synchronized lyrics. Music clips can last up to 15 seconds for images and up to 60 seconds for videos.
AVAILABILITY AND TEMPORARY OPTIONS
Although the feature is explained, some users are still unable to use it. In these cases, there are alternative methods such as:
- Take a video while playing background music.
- Use pitches to divide sound fragments.
However, these options do not offer visual information or direct integration of new hardware.
PRIVACY AND FEATURE COSTS
Music shared in states respects the usual WhatsApp privacy settings: it is visible only to authorized contacts and disappears within 24 hours. Also, don’t require a paid subscription to use this feature.
WHATSAPP FOR A MORE SOCIAL EXPERIENCE
With this update, WhatsApp refers to the social face and expands the possibilities of expression, allowing users to share not only moments but also emotions through music and consolidating statuses as a more creative and interactive space.
