WhatsApp Rolling Out Ability To Detect Text Within Images on iPhone – All Details Here

WhatsApp Update: In good news for iPhone users around the globe, the Meta-owned instant messaging application WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out the ability to detect text within images in your conversations on iOS 16. However, only beta testers can use this new feature for now.

According to WABetaInfoa website that tracks WhatsApp, the feature is already available in your beta version. Beta testers can simply open an image that contains text and verify the presence of the text detection button. If the button is visible, you can begin extracting text from images within your conversations.

It should be noted that this feature is specific to iOS 16 and is not a service provided by WhatsApp. Rather, WhatsApp has begun supporting this feature by using the system API. Since this is an iOS 16 feature, you cannot extract text from images if you are on an older version of iOS, the report added.

The ability to detect text within images is available for some beta testers that install the latest update from the TestFlight app. The report claimed that it is widely rolling out to even more users over the coming days.
