APPLE has unveiled a futuristic new feature that will help millions of people overcome language barriers.

Using artificial intelligence (AI), your iPhone may soon be able to translate conversations on the fly.

It will work in the Messages, FaceTime and the Phone app.

For example, if you’re studying abroad and wanting to make plans with some new friends but are stuck behind a language barrier.

The new Live Translate feature means each text is instantly translated after receiving it – or sending it.

It even works when you call or text someone who doesn’t have an iPhone.

Apple noted that all your conversations will be processed and translated on the device for security purposes.

That means they’re not being sent to servers elsewhere to be translated.

Apple has also added more translation capabilities to Apple Music.

Listeners will now be able to have lyrics translated in the app, alongside a new pronunciation tool to help you learn your favourite foreign songs.

The feature will become available in iOS 26 – Apple’s next big software update for iPhones.
