WhatsApp has just introduced a super useful feature on Thursday that lets you convert voice messages into text. This means you can read the message instead of listening to it which is especially helpful in noisy places or during meetings.
The company wrote on Instagram: “Can’t listen right away? No worries, now you can transcribe voice messages when you need to transcribe on your phone so that no one can see or hear them rolling out in select languages.”

The feature uses your device to transcribe the voice message into text, so your messages stay private and encrypted.

Using this feature, you will be able to easily find and finish those incomplete messages that you started but never sent. The new feature is available for all users globally on both iOS and Android devices.
Whenever you start typing a message but don’t send it, a green-highlighted Draft indicator will appear next to the conversation on your main chat screen. Also, your unfinished drafts will be bumped to the top of your chat list, so you can quickly pick up where you left off.
