WhatsApp Rolls Out In‑App Document Scanner to Android Users

Meta is enabling the built‑in scanner on Android following an earlier iOS release.

Overview

  • The tool digitizes papers inside chats and can send the result as a PDF or an image file.
  • Users open a chat, tap the attach clip, choose Document, then select Scan document to launch the feature.
  • Capture supports automatic detection or manual shots with a preview to adjust borders before confirming.
  • Multi‑page scans are supported with options to reorder pages and edit brightness, contrast, and size prior to sending.
  • Many people have not seen the option because it is tucked inside the file menu, and updating the app may be required for it to appear.
