WhatsAppTech News: WhatsApp is one of the most favorite instant messaging platforms today. This platform allows users to send text messages, video calls, audio calls, audio messages, photos, videos and documents. Everyone knows that sending voice messages is much easier than typing. At the same time, for some people, listening can be more difficult than reading. Today WhatsApp has officially introduced a new feature through which the problem of listening to voice messages is to be solved. Let us know about this new feature of WhatsApp.

According to WhatsApp blog, the new feature of WhatsApp is voice message transcript. WhatsApp says voice messages can be transcribed to text, so no matter what you're doing, it'll help you keep your conversation going. One thing to note is that transcripts are generated on your device, so no one, including WhatsApp, can listen to or read your personal messages.

WhatsApp currently supports transcripts in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian on Android. On iOS 16, WhatsApp supports transcripts in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Chinese, and Arabic. On iOS 17 or later, it supports Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Malay, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, and Thai. This new feature of WhatsApp is being rolled out worldwide in the coming weeks, with more new languages being added in the future.
