As per the screenshot (above), the feature is presented in the form of a music note as the first option on the status update page. Upon tapping it, a new user interface (UI) will appear where users can search for songs or specific artists. Once selected, the music is speculated to be automatically integrated into the status update. Users can then add photos or videos to personalise the status update even further. This feature is speculated to function similarly to the version present on other Meta Platforms apps such as Instagram and Facebook which allow adding music on status updates.

WABetaInfo claims that the new ability to share music on status updates on WhatsApp for Android is still in development and is not available to beta testers registered via the Google Play Beta program. A similar functionality is also claimed to be in development for WhatsApp for iOS.

However, it is crucial to note that while the instant messaging platform might be working on several new features for various platforms, not all of them make it to the public release.
