Overview

• WhatsApp’s Android beta includes a built-in document scanner directly in the chat attachment menu.
• The scanner offers automatic edge detection and a manual framing mode for precise captures.
• Scanned images are converted to PDF on users’ devices using native Android APIs before sharing.
• Shared files remain protected under WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption.
• The scanner is not yet active for any beta users and no public rollout date has been set.
