WhatsApp is a popular messaging app used by over two billion people around the world. To make things even better for its users, WhatsApp often adds new features. As we move into 2025, they have launched a handy new tool that allows users to scan and send documents without needing any extra apps.
Now, users can simply use the camera within WhatsApp to scan a document and share it with anyone in their contact list without having to leave the app. This change makes it much easier for people to send documents, as there’s no need to rely on other apps anymore.
If you’re interested in using this new feature on your smartphone, here’s how to do it:
How to scan and share documents on WhatsApp:
1. Open WhatsApp on your smartphone.
2. Tap the ‘Plus’ icon at the bottom of the screen and select ‘Document.’
3. You will see three options: “Choose from files,” “Choose photo or video,” and “Scan document.” Click on the third option to open the camera.
4. Position your document in the camera’s view and press the shutter button to scan it.
Currently, this feature is available for iPhone users, with plans to offer it to more devices soon. However, WhatsApp hasn’t shared when it will be available for Android users yet.
