As you can see in the image, the voice note transcribe feature is enabled for both incoming and outgoing voice messages. The report also suggests that users will have to download an additional package and that the transcription takes place on the device itself, so nobody except you will be able to read the contents of the transcription. Currently available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Hindi, the functionality may be available in other languages in the future.

The voice note transcribe feature is useful if are in a noisy environment with headphones or don’t want to play the note in front of others. Also, it can come in handy if you get a lengthy voice message. And since the audio is converted to text, you might also be able to search through voice messages.

In the last few weeks, WhatsApp has received several new features like Meta AI, a ChatGPT-like conversational chatbot and was reportedly working on some new AI features like Imagine Me, which lets users create an AI version of themselves.
