Some people are annoyed by long listening to the content of voice messages in the WhatsApp instant messaging app, especially when it comes to an important message with valuable information, so the application thought about working on a new feature that would make them easier.
WABetaInfo reported that the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iPhone includes a feature that allows users to convert a voice message into written text.
The source explained that the feature is reassuring to privacy lovers and it will only work with on-device text processing and will not be uploaded to WhatsApp’s servers.
However, the feature will face some hurdles, according to technologists, as the feature won’t be able to provide written text when it can’t process a voice message if it’s spoken in a language that isn’t registered in its database.
It is not yet determined when this feature will be applied to Android phones and when it will be rolled out to everyone.
It is noteworthy that the application “Telegram”, considered one of the most notable competitors of WhatsApp, provides a service for converting video and voice messages into written texts. This service is offered to subscribers of the Premium service. In this case, the function will be available to all WhatsApp users without exception.
Notably, WhatsApp has also been testing the “Link Preview in Status” feature, which allows users to see a visual preview of the content of links that participate in status updates, similar to what happens when sharing links in chats. She said visual previews enhance the look of statuses and also give contacts a better idea of a link before clicking on it.
He also added that he has begun rolling out new features to users around the world, and they will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
Users can download the WhatsApp app for Android through the Google Play Store, and for iOS system through Apple’s App Store. The app can also be downloaded for other mobile and desktop devices through the official website.
