In good news for WhatsApp users, the instant messaging app is introducing a new feature that allows them to scan documents directly within the app. The feature is available in the document-sharing menu, where users can use their phone’s camera to capture a document.
After taking the picture, they can preview it and adjust the margins to make sure everything fits properly. Once done, they can send the scanned document directly to a chat or group.
“With the WhatsApp for iOS 24.25.89 update now available on the App Store, WhatsApp continues to enhance the user experience by introducing new features that improve document-sharing capabilities,” WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, reported.
According to the report, this feature is very important, especially for users who need to share documents while on the move but lack access to traditional scanning equipment. By incorporating this capability within WhatsApp, users can address their document-sharing needs without toggling between apps or depending on external tools.
Additionally, the scanning functionality of the app ensures that the scanned documents are clear, legible, and professionally formatted, making them highly usable for recipients.
