The instant messaging app WhatsApp is set to introduce a new feature that will help users avoid listening to long voice notes.
With this update, WhatsApp will convert long recordings into transcriptions, allowing users to read what the sender has said in the voice note.
According to WhatsApp’s announcement, the purpose of this feature is to help people continue conversations in noisy environments when they receive long voice notes.
WhatsApp introduced voice notes over a decade ago. While they have been helpful to many users, some people complain about having to listen to lengthy voice messages from friends or senders.
The new feature will ensure that the transcribed text, like traditional WhatsApp messages, is secure, meaning it will be protected by end-to-end encryption.
