WhatsApp is testing a new feature on Android that allows users to scan physical documents directly within the app and share them as PDFs. This new scanning feature, currently in beta for Android users, will let users digitize documents using their phone's camera. Scanned documents will be shared as secure PDFs, similar to other messages. The "Scan document" button will activate the camera, allowing users to capture documents manually or automatically. This feature aims to enhance WhatsApp's use in professional settings.
