The WhatsApp Call Menu Redesigned update, confirmed by Meta on October 18, 2025, introduces intuitive controls, better accessibility, and long-requested features like call scheduling and background blur. Here’s what’s new, why it matters, and how to make the most of it.
Why Auto-Translate Feature in WhatsApp for Android Users Matters
- Privacy First: Unlike Google Translate or Gboard (which send data to the cloud), WhatsApp’s tool keeps everything on your phone.
- Fights Scams: In countries like India, fake English-language messages trick users into scams. Auto-translation helps users understand warnings or alerts in their native tongue.
- No More Juggling Apps: Forget switching between WhatsApp and translation apps—it’s all built-in.
How It Compares to Current Methods
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp’s Built-In Tool | Works offline, private, automatic | Limited to Android first, language packs required |
| Google Translate/Gboard | Supports 100+ languages, real-time | Requires internet, data sent to Google |
| Third-Party Bots (e.g., Langbox) | Auto-translates group chats | Needs bot setup, privacy risks |
| Samsung Live Translate | Built into Samsung keyboards | Only for Samsung devices |
Future Possibilities
- Voice/Video Translation: Meta is testing AI tools that could translate voice notes or calls in real time.
- iOS Release: The feature is Android-first, but iOS users might get it later.
- Expanded Language Support: More regional dialects and lesser-known languages are likely coming.
