WhatsApp introduces customizable voice message transcriptions

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will give users greater control over voice message transcriptions.

As reported by WABetaInfo, the upcoming feature will allow users to select how they receive transcriptions for voice messages, offering three different options:

• Automatic Transcription – Every voice message will be transcribed automatically.
• Manual Transcription – Users can manually transcribe specific voice messages.

• Disable Transcriptions – Users can turn off transcriptions entirely.

This update aims to enhance user flexibility by allowing them to customize their transcription settings based on their preferences. Currently, WhatsApp users need to initiate transcription manually for each voice message, but the new feature will let them set their preferences once and apply them accordingly.

WhatsApp’s New Customization Options

In addition to transcription updates, WhatsApp recently rolled out an exciting update for Android and iOS users, enabling enhanced chat personalization. The latest update introduces custom themes and wallpapers, giving users more control over their chat experience.

With this update, users can:

• Apply 22 pre-set themes and 30 new wallpapers to personalize their chats.
• Customize chat backgrounds and chat bubbles for individual conversations.
• Adjust brightness levels and even upload their own wallpaper from their gallery or camera roll.

These customizations are private, meaning only the user can see them. Additionally, the feature extends to WhatsApp Channels, allowing further personalization across the platform.

This latest update aligns with WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and customization, giving users more freedom to tailor the app to their preferences.
