USA: WhatsApp is doing everything it can to enhance the user experience, especially in light of the fact that competitors like Telegram are actively promoting new updates. The messaging platform is currently releasing a few helpful features as well. People can now use side-by-side view and transfer chats on Android without using Google Drive. iOS users will soon have access to voice message transcription.
The Android version of WhatsApp is currently being updated to include the ability to transfer chats without using Google Drive. When they want to migrate their account to a new handset, people can use this option to do away with the need to manually back up their chat history on Google Drive. This will even speed up chat transfers and cut down on migration time.
Once WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.9.19 has been downloaded, go to Settings > Chats and select Chat Transfer. To begin the migration of your chat history, scan the QR code on your new Android phone.

Users of WhatsApp on Android tablets can control the side-by-side view to have more UI control.
Simply enable the side-by-side view toggle under WhatsApp Settings > Chats to see your list of chats next to the one you're currently in. Users will be able to switch between conversations thanks to this without losing track of previous chats.
The 2.23.9.20 update for Android is compatible with the WhatsApp beta.

The iOS beta 23.9.0.70 update includes voice message transcription from WhatsApp. This capability enables users to comprehend a voice note's content even when they are unable to hear it.
With the aid of language packs, the transcription is carried out locally on the user's device while maintaining end-to-end encryption.
Users can perform a keyword or phrase search to find any specific voice note.
Every voice note has voice transcription enabled by default. However, you can disable the toggle by going to WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Voice Message Transcripts. Through the message bubble, users can also choose their preferred language accent.
