The messaging application owned by Meta announced the implementation of a new tool that will improve the user experience when receiving an audio note.
New WhatsApp function in voice messages.
WhatsApp began to introduce a new transcription that makes communication easier and more comfortable through voice messages. The feature will roll out globally to Android and iOS users “in the coming weeks,” according to the company, and will automatically create a text version of the voice snippets below the message for times when you can’t hear them.
This new measure achieves a great balance between the advantages and disadvantages of voice messageswhich are easier to record than writing down long conversations, but can be cumbersome to listen to, especially when you’re on the move or in noisy environments. Now you get the best of both worlds, but only voice message recipients who have the feature enabled can see the transcripts.

Voicemail transcripts are generated directly on the device so that “no one else, not even WhatsApp, can listen to or read your personal messages”as stated in the advertisement. The feature will be disabled by default once it is implemented, and It can be activated by clicking on “Chats” within WhatsApp settings and then on “Voice message transcriptions”.
Language support will depend on the operating system you use: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Hindi will be available initially for Windows users. Androidwhile iOS You’ll have a much larger selection on their support page. However, the messaging application ensures that language support will be expanded in the coming months.
WhatsApp: there will be no more “typing…” or “recording audio” with this new update
WhatsApp became the most important messaging app in the world, and has more than 2 billion users. This is due to how simple it is to use the application thanks to its adaptability and easy interface, which is why it is usually the most chosen.
In that sense, the messaging app made a modification to a function that all users have in mind. And it is that “writing…” or “recording audio…” will no longer appear when someone is sending a message in real time.
This change eliminates that WhatsApp tool that we anticipated would happen with the messages we would receive. Although it started in beta models, The update has already reached the cell phones of many users.
From now on, you will see a much more minimalist notification. When someone is writing a messagewe can see three points flashing in the chat, while when someone is sending a audiowe can notice it by the microphone that flickers in the chat.
