Below that, choose your preferred language (between Portuguese, English or Russian).

Transcribing audio to text requires an internet connection (via Wi-Fi or mobile data). Another factor is that anything transcribed will not be sent to any server. Meta also emphasizes in the press release that “no one else, not even WhatsApp, can listen to or read your personal messages".

Voice messages make your connection with friends and family even more personal. Hearing the voice of the one you love, even when you’re far away, is a special thing. But sometimes you’re on the go, in a noisy place, or you get a long voice message that you just can’t stop listening to. That’s why we’re excited to introduce voice message transcription. Voice messages can be transcribed into text so you can keep track of conversations no matter what you’re doing.
