WhatsApp has introduced a new feature to simplify document sharing, enabling users to scan documents directly within the app. Available to select users with the latest WhatsApp for iOS update (version 24.25.80), this feature is seamlessly integrated into the document-sharing menu. Users can now capture documents using their device’s camera, eliminating the need for external scanning tools or apps. According to WABetaInfo, the feature is being rolled out gradually, with wider availability expected in the coming weeks, as confirmed by WhatsApp’s changelog.
This development marks a significant improvement for users needing to share documents efficiently while on the move. By integrating this tool, WhatsApp becomes a one-stop platform for capturing, editing, and sharing scanned documents.
To use the feature, users can open the document-sharing menu and select the "scan" option, which activates their camera. Once the document is captured, they can preview the scan, adjust it as needed, and frame the content accurately. WhatsApp also suggests margins automatically, though manual adjustments are possible. Once satisfied, users can confirm and send the scanned document directly to a chat or group, streamlining the sharing process.
