Although this is something that many applications already have, as Instagram, which belongs to Meta (the own owner of WhatsApp), others, such as the most famous messaging app, does not include, or at least until now, where we will begin to have this function.
It is very useful, especially if We speak with a person who uses a language that we do not knowsince, without having to use external translators, we can maintain that conversation only by clicking a button that will translate your text by another in our language.
WhatsApp already has an internal translator
WhatsApp has begun to activate a function that many users had been waiting for time: the possibility of Translate messages without leaving the app itself. Now it is enough to hold a message and choose the “translate” option to see the text in another language. If you do not have the downloaded package, the application will ask you to install it, but the interesting thing is that everything happens within the phone, without sending anything to external servers and always keeping the encryption from end to end. That is, privacy remains intact.
On iPhone it can already be used with more than 19 languages, including French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean or Turkishwhich opens the door to more fluid conversations with people who do not share your tongue, since, logically, there are the English and Spanish Among these. In Android, in addition to manual translation, there is an extra advantage: the automatic translation of the conversations can be activated, so that each message received appears directly in your language without having to do anything else. Hopefully it is something that also comes to the iPhone with iOS.
With this, WhatsApp is put at the level of functions that already offered other platforms, such as the real -time translation that Apple has integrated into iOS 26. The movement is logical, because more and more people use the application to communicate with contacts from different countries and do not want to be copying and hitting external translators, or even passing to other applications that already have it. At the moment the function is arriving in a staggered way and there is no specific date to appear in the web or desktop version, but it is likely to happen later.
Have also confirmed that They will expand the number of compatible languages With the passing of the months. In any case, the experience of use is quite simple and practical: in a few seconds you understand what they have written to you without leaving the chat and without losing the assurance that your messages are still deprived. If you still don't get, calm, in a few days it will come to you. Just be attentive to the updates of the App Store.
And you, are you one of those who went to Google to translate a message? Now it will not be needed, although we will see how it works, and if it is faithful to reality, since we do not want the messages with erroneous translations to be misunderstood. Leave us a comment if you already have it available, and if you have been able to try it.
