WhatsApp Update: You can translate WhatsApp messages from English to Hindi, use it on both Android and iOS..

WhatsApp has just launched a new feature that allows messages to be translated directly within a conversation. This feature is a significant upgrade for Android users. iOS users will also receive a similar update, but in a more limited format. Social media platform WhatsApp is the largest instant messaging platform in many countries. However, this social media app hasn't gained much traction in the US market. Most people in the US use iMessage.
Therefore, WhatsApp constantly releases new updates to encourage users to switch to its platform. Recently, WhatsApp launched a very flashy advertising campaign in the US, featuring several celebrities. Now, let's talk about the new update: the instant message translation feature aims to solve the translation problem for Android users.
What's the new feature?
WhatsApp users can now find a new "Translate" option by long-pressing on any received message. WhatsApp has a language selection option, allowing you to translate into any language or download your most frequently used languages for "future translations." This all happens on the device itself, not in the cloud, so WhatsApp can't see your translated messages. This tool has no limitations and will support updates in DMs, group chats, and joined channels.
Is the Android translation experience better than iOS?
This feature will be rolled out to both Android and iOS users, but Android users will experience a better experience. WhatsApp users on Android can enable automatic translation for entire threads, eliminating the need for iOS users to translate them one by one. Furthermore, this feature will also translate new messages that arrive in that particular conversation.
However, this is initially limited in support. On iOS, the message translation feature is launching with Apple's 21 app-supported languages. On Android, users will only have access to six languages, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic. It's a small step, but it could help WhatsApp grow its audience among users in the US who regularly communicate with friends or family around the world.
