On tapping on the button, it lets you search for songs or artists. The users can go through the list and select the song or hook they wish to add to their WhatsApp status. WhatsApp may borrow the song library from its sister app.
This feature can help make WhatsApp status a little bit of a personal touch or provide context to the update shared. Upon integrating this feature, it may provide an experience that is closer to other apps like Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.
