WhatsApp has launched a new feature that allows users to scan documents directly using their phone’s camera. This means you no longer need to use separate apps to scan papers, forms, or notes. Now, everything can be done quickly within WhatsApp itself.
With this feature, users can open a chat, tap on the attachment icon, and choose the new “Scan Document” option. The phone’s camera will then open, allowing users to take a clear picture of their document. Once scanned, WhatsApp will turn the image into a neat and clean digital file.
After taking the photo, the app gives you options to crop the image, fix the edges, and adjust the view. The scanned file can be saved as a PDF and sent immediately to anyone on WhatsApp. This is useful for students, office workers, and anyone who needs to share documents quickly.
This update helps save time and makes it easier to send important files. People no longer need to switch between different apps or go through a long process to scan and send papers. Everything now happens inside one app that millions already use every day.
The feature is becoming available on both Android and iPhone. Some users may already see it, while others will receive it soon with the latest updates.
WhatsApp hopes this tool will make daily tasks faster and more convenient. By turning your phone into a document scanner, the app brings more comfort and ease to your work and communication.
