Other expected WhatsApp features
As per a recent report, the messaging platform is also developing an offline file-sharing feature for iOS users. It is speculated that the feature will allow users to share high-resolution photos, videos and documents with other users on the platform.
On the other hand, the WhatsApp voice message transcribing feature was recently spotted in Android beta. This feature was introduced to iOS users last year and lets users read audio messages with the help of the transcript feature, which will likely be beneficial for users with hearing impairments.
