- WhatsApp rolling out voice message transcription feature to Android after launching on iOS last year
- Code spotted in latest WhatsApp Android beta indicates support for downloading additional data to enable transcripts
- Transcripts aim to allow users to read voice messages instead of/before listening

- Transcripts are end-to-end encrypted, using device's speech recognition, to protect privacy
