WhatsApp Beta users using iOS can now trial having more than one account.
WhatsApp users on iOS look set to be able to run two accounts on the app.
The feature was already made available to Android users, though they must have a different SIM card as it requires them to have two different phone numbers.
And with the 25.2.10.70 iOS update, Beta users can test out the multi-account feature for the messaging service via Apple TestFlight.
WhatsApp recently introduced a handy new transcription tool for voice notes.
It can transcribe voice notes into text form so they can be read on the go or in noisy environments where an audio message might not be practical.
The company said in a statement: “There’s something special about hearing your loved one’s voice even when you’re far away.
“Though sometimes you’re on the move, in a loud place, or you receive a long voice message that you just can’t stop and listen.
“For those moments we’re excited to introduce voice message transcripts. Voice messages can be transcribed into text to help you keep up with conversations no matter what you’re doing.”
The feature is disabled by default but it can be turned on and off in the Chat settings. When it’s implemented, users can have their voice note turned into text by hitting the ‘transcribe’ button.
Android users can navigate the feature in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi, while iOS users have a wider selection of languages.
The company is planning to add more languages to the feature.
A statement posted on Whatsapp’s X page added: “Transcripts for voice messages are rolling out now! So when you can’t listen right away, you have the option to read them. “Voice messages transcripts are generated on your phone so that no one, not even WhatsApp, can hear or read them. Rolling out in select languages.”
