Note that for photo updates, users can add up to 15 seconds of music. Whereas, for videos, users can go up to the length of the video or up to 60 seconds long. WhatsApp also ensures that the status updates are end-to-end encrypted, as are messages, calls, or video chats. The status update with music will have a 24-hour limit and will disappear automatically. Reportedly, the feature has started to roll out to both Android and iOS devices globally.
