WhatsApp users can now add songs to their Status updates | TechCrunch
Briefly

WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to add brief music clips to their Status updates, reminiscent of the Myspace era. This feature, similar to Instagram Stories, enables users to share photos, videos, and text that vanish after 24 hours. Users can choose from a vast music library, posting clips of up to 15 seconds for photos and 60 seconds for videos. Importantly, music shared on Status is end-to-end encrypted, meaning only friends can view it, keeping the user's content private. The rollout will occur globally over the next few weeks.
