Send music with WhatsApp - how it works
We explain in our practical tip how to send music via WhatsApp.
Send music via WhatsApp with your Android phone
On Android systems it is relatively easy to send music via WhatsApp.
- Start WhatsApp and open the contact you want to send music to.
- Click on the paper clip in the top right with which you can also send photos. In the opened window there is the Audio option in the lower left.
- WhatsApp now asks you for the source from which you want to send music. This can be the internal memory, an SD card or a voice memo in WhatsApp.
- The selected music file is sent to your chat partner similar to a video and can be added to a playlist and listened to in the music player.
Sending music with iPhone via WhatsApp is not possible
On iOS it is not possible to send music via WhatsApp, at least without a jailbreak. On the one hand, this is related to the missing function of WhatsApp. On the other hand, it is because music is encrypted on iOS devices.
- So that you can still send your music with your iPhone, you have to use another app.
