WhatsApp Launches In-App Document Scanning for Android Beta
WhatsApp is adding a new feature to its Android app that lets you scan documents, like the one iOS users have.
You can now take pictures of documents within WhatsApp and turn them into PDF files to send to people.
This avoids the need to use other apps just to scan documents.
You can either take the picture yourself or let WhatsApp find the edges of the document automatically.
WhatsApp is adding a document scanning feature for Android beta users.
The feature allows in-app document scanning, similar to the iOS version.
It removes the need for external document scanning apps.
Users can choose between manual and automatic scanning modes.
