Meta app's new feature ensures privacy of Android users with end-to-end encryption
The iOS users have enjoyed the convenience of transcribing WhatsApp voice messages for nearly a year and now it is time for the Android owners.
WhatsApp is working to bring the same functionality to Android so, that its users may soon get the same time-saving feature.
There is code in WhatsApp Beta for Android (version 2.24.7.7) that indicates this feature is in development, as per a breakdown by TheSpAndroid's @AssembleDebug.
Additionally, the feature relies on your device's speech recognition software and the code also reveals that enabling transcription will require a 150MB download.
Your privacy will remain intact even when your voice messages are turned into text as end-to-end encryption will also apply to voice transcripts.
The feature will be located within the Settings > Chats menu.
feature could appear in future WhatsApp beta releases at any time, while there is no specific date for when this feature will become widely available.
WhatsApp will be on a more even footing with rivals like Telegram and Google Messages, which already offer transcription tools on Android, once this feature is released.
Furthermore, the limitations of this feature are still unknown. Though, it is going to be a treat for WhatsApp users on Android.
