How to Share MP3 Files to WhatsApp Contacts via iPhone

Want to share music/send MP3 files to friends via WhatsApp? That's a good idea and super easy for most Android users since the OS itself already offers this option. However, it's not the case when it comes to iOS users -- WhatsApp for iOS allows you to send images, movies, contacts and location, etc, but not music.

If you want to share music files over WhatsApp using iPhone, fortunately, it is still possible. Searching Google, you may find a few possible workarounds like jailbreaking your phone, or use a cloud sync app (like Google Drive) to access files from your computer and then open them using WhatsApp, etc, but what we provide here is a more feasible way that does not rely on jailbreaking or something like that. All you need is the help of a free app that offers an "Open In" option.

We found that a file compression app called iZip to be the most suitable for our purpose for it comes with the "Music Library Access" and "Open In" features which we need to use to share music files from the iPhone music library over WhatsApp.
