WhatsApp has rolled out a new document scanning feature for iOS users, making it easier to scan and share documents directly within the app. This tool is part of the latest update, version 24.25.89, which is now available for download on the App Store.
The document scanning feature allows users to bypass third-party apps, providing a simple, built-in solution for scanning and sharing documents. While the update has been officially announced, the feature is being released gradually, so users might not see it immediately. To access it, ensure your WhatsApp app is updated to the latest version.
Using the new feature is straightforward. Open a chat or group, navigate to the document-sharing option, and select the new “Scan” tool. The phone’s camera activates, allowing users to capture the document. After scanning, users can preview the image, adjust margins, rotate or crop as needed, and send the document directly in the chat.
This new addition is expected to boost productivity, especially for users who frequently share documents for personal or professional purposes. By integrating this feature, WhatsApp eliminates the inconvenience of switching between apps or downloading additional tools.
Earlier this year, WhatsApp introduced features like the party popper emoji as a default reaction, reflecting its commitment to improving user convenience. The document scanning tool reinforces this focus, offering practical and innovative solutions for its global user base.
For iOS users, this update makes WhatsApp even more versatile making communication and everyday tasks to be done easily.
