The only AI feature I want added to WhatsApp is transcribing voice messages!

I don't get why this isn't a feature for a long time yet
There is but needs to be enabled. Go to Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts and turn the feature on
English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian only
I'd wager that probably covers only ~30% of the world population, and considering that people who speak Mandarin for example use other apps, it probably covers an even larger slice of the Whatsapp userbase.
I think it is less than 20% of world population are native speakers and will receive audio messages in those languages.
On my iPhone I can choose from hundreds of languages
For transcribing WhatsApp audio messages?
Awesome, thanks!
