Users can scan multi-page documents into a single file. Also, now scanned documents can be saved as PDFs or images, making it convenient for sharing or archiving. Next, once scanned, documents can be sent directly through WhatsApp chats or groups, eliminating the need for external apps.

This feature is set to redefine how users manage and share documents, making WhatsApp an indispensable tool in both personal and professional spheres. WhatsApp says it is gradually rolling out the new feature, so it may take some time before the new option is available on your device. Till then android users will have to resort to third-party apps.
