Overview
- Users can translate received messages with a tap inside individual chats, groups, and channels.
- Translations are processed locally on the device, so WhatsApp does not access the translated content.
- Android includes an option to enable automatic translation for entire conversations.
- Distribution has begun on iOS and Android, with wider rollout expected over the coming weeks.
- Meta positions the feature as reducing language barriers for more than 3 billion users across 180 countries.
