WhatsApp is working on transcription feature for voice messages but the calls will be sent to Apple

WhatsApp is working on a feature that will provide written transcriptions of incoming voice messages. WABetaInfo posted screenshots of the alleged Transcribe feature, which includes disclaimers it is optional and users have to give permission for the app to access their phone's speech recognition software. The new feature raises questions about privacy, as calls will be sent to Apple for transcription and to help Apple'improve its speech recognition technology.' WhatsApp says the calls will remain protected by end-to-end encryption because they'won't be directly linked to your identity'. Previously, WhatsApp users had to rely on third-party apps to get transcriptions. The WhatsApp info site WABetaInfo shares images of a new voice message transcription feature coming to the popular messaging app.
