WhatsApp users receive major free upgrade that makes voice note chats WAY easier when it’s really noisy

Even in busy settings, voice notes have become much easier to carry on a discussion thanks to WhatsApp.

A great way to spice up a discussion is to send voice notes, which are brief vocal messages you may send to friends and family in place of a text or phone call.

However, receiving them in a noisy setting can be annoying.

Maybe even more frustrating is when you’re in a very quiet place and don’t want to play half of your chat aloud.

About 2 billion individuals use the Meta-owned messenger, which has attempted to lessen this suffering.

A transcription option that explains the exact content of the audio communication has been added.

When you long-press a vocal note, a transcription will appear beneath it, which you can read rather than hear.

Security enthusiasts might scoff at this, but the audio notes are end-to-end encrypted, much like WhatsApp.

This implies that WhatsApp is unable to hear or read the message’s contents, even though it is transcribing the voice note.

Not even police officers or hackers, for that matter, can.

“Voice message transcripts are generated on your device, and your personal voice messages remain protected by end-to-end encryption,” the business states on a recently released tool help page.

According to WhatsApp, transcripts will be available to users worldwide in the upcoming weeks on both iOS and Android.

You have the option to disable the feature if you find the textual description of every voice message you get bothersome.

You must first ensure that you are on the most recent version of WhatsApp before you can use it.

After that, launch Messenger and select Settings>Chats>Voice message transcripts to enable or disable transcriptions.

You can choose the language of your transcript here as well.
