Samsung July 2024 Security Patch Details Released: Here’s What’s New
Article at a glance: Samsung Galaxy AI might get real-time translation support for WhatsApp calls. Live Translate could be supported by non-Samsung apps with the next iteration of Galaxy AI. Google Meet and WeChat might also be supported by the Galaxy AI translation feature.
Upgraded Galaxy AI will launch at the Unpacked next week. The new Galaxy AI is said to bring real-time translation to WhatsApp. It’s expected that the company may announce its collaboration with third-party platforms to optimize Galaxy AI with their apps.
WhatsApp already supports the translation of chats in Samsung’s AI suite. Beyond that, Samsung might bring real-time translation support for calls to WhatsApp. It would be a quite big development as there are approximately 2.7 billion active users worldwide.
The Galaxy S24 series debuted the Live Translate feature with Galaxy AI. It helps users translate phone calls in real time through on-device AI capabilities. This feature is expected to be supported by non-Samsung apps with the next iteration of Galaxy AI.

Breaking the language barriers, Samsung’s Galaxy AI will be playing a crucial role in users’s everyday activities. Rather than phone calls through network carriers, millions of people use third-party apps like WhatsApp for voice conversation.
Samsung continues to expand its partnerships in various segments. It has close ties with Microsoft, Meta and Google that unlock extraordinary features on Galaxy devices. Beyond WhatsApp, Google Meet and WeChat might also be supported by the Galaxy AI translation feature.
The Korean tech giant will launch the new Galaxy AI features at Unpacked on July 10. It’s going to be a big hardware launch event, bringing next-generation foldable phones, Wear OS smartwatches, upgraded earbuds, the first Ring-style wearable, and the first Watch Ultra.
