iPhone users around the world can now enjoy a new handy texting feature thanks to Apple's latest update, iOS 17. The update, which was launched two weeks ago, brings a range of tools and features to enhance the user experience, particularly when using iMessage. One exciting feature is the ability to transcribe audio messages, or voice notes, in iMessage. Voice notes were introduced in 2014 and quickly became a favorite among iPhone users. However, the new transcription feature in iOS 17 now allows recipients to easily read audio messages without having to listen to them.

iOS 17: The solution to an annoying iMessage issue

With the new iOS 17 update, iPhone users can finally solve a common iMessage issue thanks to the audio message transcription feature. While sending voice notes is convenient for the sender, it can sometimes make it difficult for recipients to listen to the messages in certain situations, such as being in a noisy environment or at work. However, the new iOS 17 update now allows recipients to easily read the content of audio messages without having to play them.

How to enable the audio message transcription feature

To take advantage of this new feature, you first need to update your iPhone to iOS 17. Simply go to Settings, tap on General, and click on Software Update > Automatic Updates. Turn on Download iOS Updates and Install iOS Updates. After downloading iOS 17, the audio message transcription feature should be automatically enabled. To see it in action, just send an audio message on iMessage, and you will see the transcribed text appear below the audio bars.

Don't miss out on this convenient feature - update your iPhone to iOS 17 now and start enjoying the hassle-free experience of reading audio messages instead of listening to them!
