Overview
- The new tool lets users capture paper documents inside a chat and send them as PDFs without using separate scanning apps.
- To find it, open a chat, tap the attachment icon, choose Document, then select Scan document to launch the camera in scan mode.
- The scanner offers automatic edge detection with auto-capture or a manual option, plus previews to crop, rotate, and apply filters.
- Users can add multiple pages and compile them into a single PDF before sending or saving.
- Meta and outlets report the feature is rolling out now to recent Android and iOS builds, with guidance to update the app or wait; alternatives like Microsoft Lens remain options on unsupported devices.
