WhatsApp continues to innovate and has announced a new feature that promises to revolutionize the user experience: voice message transcription. This tool, expected by millions of people, will allow audio to be converted into text, facilitating communication in situations where listening to a message is not possible or practical.

This function comes to position WhatsApp as an even more versatile and accessible tool for its users.
How does voice message transcription work?
Meta, the parent company of WhatsAppreported that the transcripts will be processed directly on the user’s device, thus guaranteeing the privacy of the content. According to the company, neither they nor third parties will have access to the audios during this process. This reinforces WhatsApp’s commitment to the security and confidentiality of its users.
The function will transform the voice messages in text in a few seconds and will be available in several languages. Users will be able to activate or deactivate this tool according to their needs, making it a customizable option for each conversation.
How to activate this new tool?
