Have you ever been in a crowded place and received a voice message that you couldn't understand?

Or maybe you were in a meeting and didn't want to disturb others by playing a voice message out loud?

Here's a Cool Tip: Try the new WhatsApp Voice Mail Transcript feature.

WhatsApp's new voice message transcript feature is the perfect solution!

This allows you to read the contents of voice messages instead of having to listen to them.

This is a very useful feature for those who want to be discreet or who are in a noisy environment.

It is also helpful for people who are hard of hearing.

The feature is easy to use and can be accessed by long pressing on a voice message.

Here's how to do it.

Someone needs to send you a voice message first.
Tap and hold on the voice message you want to transcribe.
A transcript of the voice message appears on your screen.

Important Notes:

WhatsApp tries to automatically detect the language of the voice message, but you can change the language in the settings if needed (see "How to Configure the Feature" in the previous response).
The accuracy of the transcript depends on the clarity of the voice message, background noise, and the speaker's accent.
You don't need to play the audio for the transcript to appear. This is great for quiet environments!

How to configure the feature:

Go to Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts.
Turn transcriptions on or off.
Select your transcript language.
