How to put music in WhatsApp Status in 2 ways

Despite initial protests, WhatsApp Status was eventually accepted and widely used by users of the world's most famous messaging application. Working similarly to Instagram Stories, you can put up snippets of text, images or videos of up to 30 seconds to talk about your daily life. But how to put music in WhatsApp Status?

On Instagram, the process is quite easy for anyone who has a Spotify account or already has the Music sticker enabled. But the support of the music streaming service does not extend to the messenger. That's why it's harder to put music on WhatsApp Status than Instagram Stories.

But there are two ways to make your favorite songs follow your posts on WhatsApp Stories. Below is the complete walkthrough of how to put music in WhatsApp Status in two different ways!

How to put music in WhatsApp Status: Method 1

1 - Open your app to listen to music - be it online or offline - favorite;

2 - Choose the song you want to use for Status recording and put it to play. Remember to unplug any connected headphones;

3 - Open WhatsApp Status;

4 - Tap the green button;

5 - Hold the center button to start recording your video. Aim at a point in your surroundings that has a unique background or leave the camera facing a surface so that no picture appears, only the sound. Remember that songs will only appear in this mode;

6 - Make any edits you need, enter the caption and click the arrow button to publish your Music Status to WhatsApp.

How to Put Music in WhatsApp Status: Method 2

While the first method may be considered a gambiarra, it has some counterpoints. Chief among them is the quality of the music, which is reduced as the cell phone's microphone doesn't capture as well as a pro or when the music is already in the video.

In the second method, we'll teach you how to put WhatsApp Status music in a more professional way. To do this, we will use your native camera app or one of these apps to record videos, plus a video editing app called DU Recorder. It is available for both Android and iPhone.

The first step is to record your video, just as you did in the previous method, but this time outside of WhatsApp Status. But remember that it can be up to 30 seconds long.

Then open DU Recorder and tap the icon in tool format.

Choose Edit Video ;

Select the video you just recorded for Status;

Tap the Add Music button;

Click on the "+" sign at the bottom of the screen and you can choose a song from your mobile phone or one from the DU Recorder collection in the Online Music tab. Choose the song you will use;

Tap the Save button to download the edit of the video you just produced;

Now open WhatsApp and access the status bar, just as you did in steps 3 and 4 of the first method. Swipe up and select the video you have edited;

Add any emojis, text or drawings by WhatsApp Status itself and click the green button to post your Status with music.
