Method 1: Add Music to Status Using WhatsApp
The easiest way to add music to your WhatsApp status is to use the built-in feature of the app itself. However, this method has some limitations. You can only add music that is playing on your phone’s speaker, not on your headphones or earphones. You also have to record the status video while the music is playing in the background. This means that you cannot edit the video or add any effects later.
Here are the steps to add music to WhatsApp status using WhatsApp:
1. Open the music app of your choice on your phone and play the song that you want to add as background music. Make sure that you are playing the song through the speaker and not your wired or wireless headset.
2. Now, open WhatsApp while the song is playing in the background. Go to “status”.
3. Here you see two options one is for photo and the other is for video. Click on the video option.
3. Ensure that the music playback is at its maximum volume level. This way, you can ensure a better background music quality for your status. Start recording.
4. When you are done recording, quickly preview the recording and, if everything is in order, tap on the send button at the bottom right corner and let everyone enjoy your musical status.
Method 2: Add Music Using a Video-editing App
While the method that we mentioned above works well, adding music using a third-party app is much better and ensures better audio quality as well as more creative options. You can use any video-editing app of your choice, but our recommendation is InShot Video Editor. It has just the right amount of features to make custom videos and it gets the job done in no time.
