WhatsApp will receive a new update in beta phase with various improvements that have recently been applied. The world’s most popular instant messaging application is preparing to offer new features to its audience.

Call scheduling in WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.4.4, creating custom avatars and transcribing voice notes are just some of the improvements that will come after new WhatsApp Messenger updates.

Schedule messages in a WhatsApp group? Yes, it is possible and you can do it from your iPhone

Now the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS (v23.3.0.73) returns to collect voice message transcription in case the user deems it necessary.

This can be useful at times when it is not possible to hear a voice memo, for example in a meeting or in a room where no sound is allowed.

WhatsApp has become one of the most important communication alternatives worldwide.

WhatsApp can schedule calls and transcribe voice notes

“Finally, we will be able to transcribe voice notes on WhatsApp in the future,” they said of the WaBetaInfo Official Twitter. Although this development started in September 2021, the platform reported that they had to stop in advance.

The transcription is always done locally on the device by downloading the corresponding language pack. That is, the contents of the voice note are never shared with WhatsApp or Apple, thus maintaining data privacy.

In this way, WhatsApp implements an information screen that explains why a transcript may not be available.

In this sense, the platform said that it cannot make the transcripts if it does not recognize the words of the voice memo. You will also not be able to run them if it is configured in a language other than that of the voice note.

“We announced that development of this feature has been discontinued for unknown reasons: when a feature is in development, things like this can happen. But today there is important news and WhatsApp is working on this feature again,” they warned.

Together with this update, a solution is added for users who encountered complications when sending documents on iOS: they must update WhatsApp to this version in order to be able to share the files again.

Another new WhatsApp tool: schedule group conversations

So the Meta app will expand calling features, after launching the option that allows users to create shortcuts to call contacts from their devices home page, in a beta update last week.

With this new addition to Android through the Google Play beta program, WhatsApp allows you to schedule calls in your group chats, which can be previously configured with other members of the group.

Through this feature, users can choose the title, date and time of the call, which, once scheduled, will notify group members to ensure their availability.
