Two months ago, we discovered some references for linking our WhatsApp account to the Smart Glasses in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.11.6 update. In addition, we also discovered some secret strings about new messaging and calling features when linking our WhatsApp account to Ray-Ban Stories in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.9.13 update. This is exactly what Mark Zuckerberg is announcing in a new post on Facebook today:
After linking your WhatsApp account to Ray-Ban Stories, you are ready to use new hands-free features mentioned in the post published by Mark Zuckerberg: you can finally hear message readouts, send end-to-end encrypted messages via WhatsApp, and make calls securely by using the end-to-end encryption protocol. Mark Zuckerberg also revealed that you will be able to directly reply to WhatsApp messages with a voice command in the future.
Note that WhatsApp makes secure your experience when using the app with Ray-Ban Stories thanks to end-to-end encryption, and any voice command transcription (previously identified by the voice assistant) is never stored on any server.
