WhatsApp: WhatsApp is working on many new features these days. These include two features which are being discussed a lot. Their names are WhatsApp voice notes and chat history backup. Let's know how they work.
WhatsApp voice notes are an easy and quick method that many people opt for when they don't have time or want to write long texts. This feature of WhatsApp allows people to share their thoughts and ideas in an easy audio format. Well, soon the popular messaging app owned by Meta will come with a new Transcribe feature that will give the option to convert these voice notes into text.
How will this feature work
The new feature will help people translate WhatsApp audio notes into Hindi and other languages. With the new feature, users will be able to read these voice notes on the messaging application. The new Transcribe option is a useful way to get word-to-word text notes for audio chats. This feature will be very useful for those who do not want to write long conversations on the messaging app and spend long hours typing. The company may bring this new feature for audio notes to users in a future update.
Status of WhatsApp's new transcription feature
The company is currently testing the new transcription feature for voice transcripts on Android version 2.24.7.8 beta. This feature will allow WhatsApp users to select from languages like English, Hindi, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese. WhatsApp plans to add more languages to this feature in the future. As soon as users select a language, a package will be installed to start the transcription process. For example, if a user sends a WhatsApp voice note giving directions to a specific location, this new feature will describe the entire audio in detail. Along with this, it will also translate it into many other languages, which can be selected from the transcript language option
Why is this transcription feature being provided
The most important thing about this new transcription feature is that WhatsApp will download a package to ensure that the transcription of voice notes happening on the device is not shared or processed on another server. The company is committed to securing all chats, voice notes and transcriptions with end-to-end encryption.
A new feature for chat history
WhatsApp is preparing to introduce several new updates aimed at enhancing the user experience, including a feature that makes it easier to transfer chat history between devices via QR codes.
According to WABetaInfo, this innovative chat transfer capability is part of the latest beta version, 2.24.9.19, and will make it much easier to transfer chat data from one device to another, bypassing the need for Google Drive.
How will this new feature work for chat history
When a user upgrades to a new phone, WhatsApp will send a QR code to the old device containing all the chat history and data. By scanning this QR code from the new device, users can easily start the chat transfer process. This development eliminates a frequent inconvenience for Android users who previously had to rely on Google Drive to backup and restore chats during a device switch.
