WhatsApp launches real-time translation – TyN Magazine

English Content Meta Platforms-owned WhatsApp started rolling out message translation for Android and iOS devices to enable cross‑language chats among its more than three billion users in over 180 countries. In a blog post yesterday (23 September), WhatsApp stated translations will initially be available in six languages on Android devices and 19 languages on iPhones, with more to follow. When users see a message in a different language, they can long-press and tap “translate” to select the language they want the message to be converted either from or to. The feature is available across one-on-one chats, groups and Channel updates. Android users will be able to turn on automatic translation for an entire chat to see future messages in their preferred language. To alleviate privacy concerns, the company stated the translations occur on users’ devices where WhatsApp cannot see them. “We hope this feature helps break down language barriers and allows users to connect more deeply with loved ones and communities around the globe,” it added.
