The world’s leading messaging platform with over two billion users, is constantly exploring new ways to enhance communication. While official announcements remain undisclosed, recent leaks and beta testing activities suggest intriguing features on the horizon.
The chat app recently brought upgraded calling interface for iPhone users. It offers a more streamlines viewing experience during calls without comprising the view in the background. Let’s delve into the most talked-about features that could transform the way we use WhatsApp.
Meta AI image generator: WhatsApp is working on feature to allow users to generate image of themselves using Meta AI. The feature is under works, as per WaBetaInfo report, and will come to both Android and iOS groups of users.
Zoom control button: WhatsApp is in the process of rolling out, an update that introduces a dedicated zoom control button within the camera interface for some users on Android. This eliminates the need for the previous swipe gesture while holding the capture button, offering more precise and convenient zooming when recording videos.
Voice notes transcription: WhatsApp is reportedly working on voice note transcription feature. This feature, spotted in beta testing for the Android app, aims to convert audio messages into text. This would allow users to quickly grasp the content of a voice note by reading the transcript, particularly beneficial in situations where listening isn’t feasible, like a noisy environment or for users with hearing impairments. Additionally, it could help bridge language barriers by allowing users to understand the message even if they don’t speak the language of the recording.
Message translation: WhatsApp is seemingly focussed on breaking the language barriers. The chat app is said to be working on message translation feature that would allow users to translate their messages. This feature is in works and could roll out in future.
