WhatsApp has launched an in-app document scanning feature in the latest iOS update. This feature simplifies the process for users to share important files, as it allows them to scan documents directly within the app.
With this feature, users no longer need to rely on third-party apps or scanning tools.
How WhatsApp's document scanning feature works?
Users can scan any new document by opening WhatsApp’s document-sharing menu and selecting “Scan.” Once selected, the camera on the device will capture a picture of the document. Users can preview the photos and properly adjust them to enhance clarity.
After completing the adjustments, users can easily share the scanned document with anyone.
WhatsApp's document scanning feature benefits and availability
This innovative feature reduces the need for physical printers and third-party apps to create and share copies.
Users who need to share receipts, contracts, or other necessary documents instantly will find this feature particularly beneficial.
Scanned documents are presented with a professional look, making them suitable for office work. The scan quality is designed to reduce pixelation, ensuring clarity and readability.
This feature will be rolled out to a wider audience in the near future. It is part of WhatsApp’s broader efforts to enhance user experience by expanding the app’s functionality.
Additionally, users can save time by using this document scanning tool, as it allows them to store and access scanned documents within the app at any time.
