WhatsApp Brings On-Device Message Translation to iPhone With Version 25.28.74

On-device processing via Apple’s framework keeps chats private for offline use.

Overview

  • WhatsApp for iOS 25.28.74 is rolling out now, with the Translate option reaching more users over the next few weeks.
  • Translations support 21 languages, and availability can vary based on the iOS version installed.
  • To access it, long-press a message, select More > Translate, and download the required language packs for offline use.
  • All processing occurs locally using Apple’s Translation API (iOS 17.4+), and WhatsApp may limit the feature to newer iOS versions for reliability.
  • The feature works for messages in individual and group chats but not for locations, documents, contacts, stickers, or GIFs; the update also adds Live Photos support.
