WhatsApp launched a new feature on Friday, where users can include brief music clips in their Status updates, reminiscent of the Myspace era.

Status resembles Instagram Stories and allows users to share photos, videos, and text that disappear after 24 hours. When creating a new Status, users can tap on a music note icon to choose from millions of available songs. They can post music clips of up to 15 seconds for photos and up to 60 seconds for videos. 

The launch of music clips follows parent company Meta introducing similar capabilities to Instagram, where users can add songs to profiles, Notes, and posts.

WhatsApp’s feature is similar, but with a key difference: Music shared on Status is end-to-end encrypted, meaning only friends can see the songs. WhatsApp itself cannot view the songs that users share.

WhatsApp has started to roll out the new feature globally and will continue to expand availability over the coming weeks.
