Live Translate is part ofthe Galaxy AI suiteof features developed bySamsung, offering real-time translation between languages, and it’s expected to expand into third-party apps in the near future – withWhatsAppin line to be one of the first apps to benefit.
According to reliable tipster@UniverseIce(viaNeowin), WhatsApp integration is on the way, though there’s no timetable given. Samsung has previously said other apps will get Live Translate, without specifying what those apps might be.
Quite how the feature will work remains to be seen, but on compatible Samsung phones, it’s already integrated into the default messaging app and works on phone calls too. There’s also a standalone Interpreter tool for instant audio translations.
As perSamMobile, the integration could extend to audio calls in WhatsApp too – so you’ll be able to get translations between languages while you’re speaking to someone else, as well as getting your text messages converted.

Phone makers are of course falling over themselves to stuff as much AI as possible into their handsets at the moment, withApplerecently showing offa range of Apple Intelligence featuresheading to the iPhone later this year.
Googlehas been busy with AI features too. As you’ll discover in ourGoogle Pixel 8a review, the mid-ranger is the latest Pixel to come with options for AI-generated wallpapers, live language translation for phone calls, AI-powered photo editing, and more.
Samsung certainly won’t want to allow itself to be left behind in terms of AI, and giving third-party apps the option to access some AI magic could be one way of doing that – so over to you Apple and Google.
