Apple is developing a native link between the Music app and WhatsApp Status, improving the sharing experience for users. This feature is included in the iOS 26.2 beta 1 update, which offers additional options for sharing content from Apple Music to WhatsApp Status.
WhatsApp Status operates similarly to Instagram Stories, enabling users to share photos, videos, texts, and voice notes that vanish after 24 hours. At present, users can share songs and podcasts from Spotify to WhatsApp Status, featuring custom layouts and specific segments of lyrics. This functionality has left Apple Music users eager for an equivalent option.
With the forthcoming integration, Apple Music users will have the ability to share selected lyrics straight to WhatsApp Status, crafting visually engaging updates. In the beta version, users can click “Share Lyrics” and opt for the “WhatsApp Status” choice to pick specific lines from a song prior to sharing.
Nevertheless, some inconsistencies exist, as the WhatsApp Status option may not consistently show up when sharing the actual song, suggesting that the feature is still a work in progress.
Apple Music necessitates a subscription, priced at $10.99 per month, with a one-month free trial for new users.
