WhatsApp is rolling out a message translation feature to its global user base, aiming to help over three billion users communicate across language barriers. 

The translation process is handled entirely on the user's device, ensuring WhatsApp itself cannot access the translated content. 

The company hopes this feature will help users connect more deeply with loved ones and communities worldwide.

The rollout will be gradual for both Android and iPhone users, and users are encouraged to keep their app updated to access the feature as soon as it becomes available.

At launch, Android users can translate messages into six languages: English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic. For iPhone users, the feature will support over 19 languages, offering a broader selection on Apple's platform initially.
