WhatsApp has launched in-app message translations on Android and iPhone, allowing users to overcome language barriers by translating messages directly within chats. This new feature aims to connect its over 3 billion users across more than 180 countries.

• Translations are processed on-device, ensuring user privacy as WhatsApp cannot access chat content.
• The feature, announced on September 23, 2025, allows users to translate messages in 1:1 chats, groups, and Channels.
• Android users can enable automatic translations for entire chat threads, while iPhone supports over 19 languages from launch, and Android supports 6 languages including English and Spanish.
