WhatsApp is compatible with the Galaxy S24’s language translation feature

Samsung has introduced many new AI-powered capabilities for the Galaxy S24 series. Most of these functionalities are powered by strong NPUs built inside the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy processors in those phones. Some of these services include real-time language translation for phone calls and messaging. While the business demonstrated language translation for text messages using the built-in Messages app, it appears that it also works with WhatsApp.

Galaxy AI’s language translation capability on Galaxy S24 is also compatible with WhatsApp

The Galaxy AI suite’s real-time language translation capability appears to operate on WhatsApp (via @sondesix), a third-party messaging service. Uncertainty surrounds whether WhatsApp’s live language translation capability has been applied to the Galaxy S24 or whether it is compatible with other messaging apps.

On the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, according to Samsung, language translation can function in real-time on-device without requiring an active internet connection. Furthermore, based on what we’ve seen at Galaxy Unpacked, language processing appears to happen rather quickly. Over the past year, this feature has also been available on Pixel devices, and it may soon be available on further phones that have potent NPUs built in.

According to Samsung, in the first half of this year, some of those AI-powered capabilities may be added to current high-end Galaxy devices. The business hasn’t disclosed which aspects of the One UI 6.1 update would be made available to owners of current devices, though.
