WhatsApp is introducing a new feature that allows users to scan documents directly using the app’s camera. With this update, users can quickly scan and send documents as PDFs without needing any third-party apps. The feature offers both manual and automatic scanning modes, making the process smooth and user-friendly.
With this feature, users will be able to easily scan and send documents while using WhatsApp. WhatsApp will offer two modes for capturing documents: Manual and Automatic.
Last year, WhatsApp rolled out a document scanning feature in WhatsApp Beta for iOS version 24.25.89. This feature makes it easy for users to capture documents directly using the WhatsApp camera. It allows users to neatly frame content with borders and instantly send the scanned file in individual chats or groups. With this addition, there's no need for a separate app or web service to scan documents. The good news is that this useful feature is now coming to Android users as well.
