WhatsApp has been seen experimenting and even adding new features every now and then and this will definitely continue. The Meta-owned messaging platform is now expected to introduce a new feature for iOS users, which will help them copy text from images. Does that sound like a handy feature? Read on to know more about it.

WhatsApp has released a new iOS beta update version 23.5.77, which brings the ability to extract text from the photos shared. Now, if you have heard about a similar feature, you must know that this is one of the iOS 16 features. This is called Live Text, which can help you grab some text from videos and photos to either copy it, look it up, or even share it.

The same features have been extended to WhatsApp by using the iOS 16 API and you can even translate the text if needed. We are not sure if this works for WhatsApp videos as well. The WABetaInfo report claims that the feature has started rolling out to some stable users, along with the ability to send voice status. Although I haven't been able to use it yet. We expect the expansion to take place gradually. You can still check out what this will look like below.

For those who don't know, Voice Statuses, which were recently introduced, recently began rolling out widely to iOS users. Once updated, there will now be a microphone icon under the create status option under the Status tab. You can hold it to record the sound and when you're happy with the result, you can post it as a disappearing story.
