WhatsApp has begun to roll out a redesigned typing indicator feature for individual and group chats. When users are actively participating in group and one-on-one discussions, these visual indicators show up at the bottom of the chat screen. Both the iOS and Android platforms now offer this update. Moreover, the functionality shows the profile image and visual cues.
Till now, WhatsApp’s redesigned typing indicator feature was under development and now it is out of the testing phase. The company is widely rolling out this feature for better real-time engagement in chats. The user’s profile image and a new three-dot typing animation at the bottom of the chat screen are provided by the new functionality, which is especially helpful in group chats where several people are typing at once.
The typing indicator that was previously located at the top of the screen beneath the group name has been changed to take the form of a chat bubble in the conversation screen. By making it possible to quickly identify typing without interfering with the conversation, this function improves the user experience.
This transitions the typing indicator into the chat interface, eliminating it from the top app bar. The redesigned indicator also appears in individual chats, ensuring a consistent experience.

Last month WhatsApp also introduced voice message transcripts. Which means now voice messages can be transcribed into text to help you keep up with conversations.
To start, navigate to Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts and select your language. Transcribe a voice message by long-pressing on it and tapping on ‘transcribe’.
