After making available for some beta tester a novelty in optical accessibility, WhatsApp Beta It passes further, with the development team that this time works to implement a new function within the popular messaging app.
From the latest preview version of the app, the work in progress emerge for a function that will allow users of Scan documents with the smartphone camera directly from WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Beta hides the work in progress for a very useful functionality
Analyzing the Version 2.25.18.29 by WhatsApp Beta, Portal experts Wabetainfo They discovered the work in progress for the implementation of a new functionality within the popular messaging app.
Specifically, it seems that in the future users can Scan documents with the smartphone camera Directly from WhatsApp to send them to friends, colleagues or in group chats, saving time for the document scanning operation to be carried out directly from the messaging app.
From the following screenshot, we can see that the option will be added to the section Documents access to when we want to share a chat document (it will be placed between the option “Choose from the gallery” and recent documents).
By accessing the function, we will have to do with a rather simple interface that shows what displays the camera. Above, we find the keys to cancel (the “x”) and to activate/deactivate the flash. In the lower part, however, under the shutter button, we find a selector to choose between manual mode or automatic capture (which will automatically cut out the document). Even lower, there will be a disclaimer in which WhatsApp suggests that the app will have access only to the images we scan.
The functionality for Scan documents via the camera is not yet available not even for the beta testers who perform the Version 2.25.18.29 by WhatsApp Beta. It is a development feature that we still do not know when it can be ready for release, to the beta testers first and on the stable channel then.
