WhatsApp has recently released a new update for iOS users, which includes a couple of new features that users have been eagerly waiting for. The update brings text detection support and voice status, which allows users to share their thoughts through an audio message.
The text detection feature uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to scan images and detect any text present in them. This means that users can now simply take a picture of a document or a signboard and WhatsApp will automatically recognize the text and suggest to copy it to the clipboard. This feature comes in handy especially when someone needs to quickly copy a phone number or an address from an image.
On the other hand, the voice status feature enables users to share their status in the form of an audio message. Users can record a message and share it with their contacts, which will play automatically when the recipient opens the user’s status. This feature can be useful for those who prefer to express their thoughts through voice messages rather than text.
The new update is available for download on the App Store and users can easily install it by visiting the WhatsApp page on the store. The text detection feature is currently available in English, while the voice status feature is available in all languages that WhatsApp supports.
WhatsApp has been constantly updating its app with new features and improvements, making it one of the most popular messaging apps worldwide. With the addition of these new features, WhatsApp aims to make communication more convenient and enjoyable for its users.
