WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that allows users to convert voice into text.
The Meta-owned messaging service is testing out the feature with Beta users first, according to WABetaInfo. So, if you’re one of the chosen ones, you can finally say goodbye to those lengthy voice notes and hello to concise text.
This nifty tool will require 150MB of data.
Users will be prompted to “Read voice messages with transcripts.” A perfect solution for those who love to multitask or simply prefer reading over listening.
What’s more, the app is developing a translation feature.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is seemingly planning to block users on iOS from taking screenshots of a user’s profile picture.
“WhatsApp is working on a feature that will restrict users from taking screenshots of profile pictures on iOS,” WABetaInfo reported in May.
“The latest update from WhatsApp’s beta program for iOS, version 24.10.10.70 available through TestFlight shows that new security measures are being tested for the app,” it added.
So, while you might miss out on those screenshot shenanigans, at least you’ll have transcripts and translations to keep you entertained.
