WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that enables users to scan documents directly within the app. This feature, which is rolling out globally, aims to make document sharing more efficient for users across various professional and personal contexts. By leveraging the phone’s camera, users can now scan paper documents, convert them into high-quality images, and instantly share them with friends, family, or colleagues without needing third-party apps.
To access the feature, users simply need to tap the attachment icon in a chat, select “Scan Document,” and the app will automatically recognize and crop the document for a cleaner, more professional look. The feature also supports editing and rotating the scanned document before sharing it.
This update is expected to simplify tasks like sharing receipts, contracts, or official papers, enhancing WhatsApp’s utility beyond its primary messaging function. WhatsApp’s push towards improving document management capabilities reflects its ongoing commitment to increasing user convenience and adaptability.
