WhatsApp is adding document scanning feature on Android: Here’s how to use

WhatsApp is introducing a new feature for Android beta users that enables in-app document scanning, a function iOS users have had access to for several months. This addition eliminates the need to use external apps for scanning documents, offering a more streamlined experience directly within WhatsApp.

The document scanning functionality was initially discovered in the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.25.18.29, during its early development phase. It has since progressed to public testing with the most recent update. Several beta users have reported gaining access to the new feature after downloading the latest version from the Google Play Store.
