WhatsApp for iOS 24.25.89: what's new?

WhatsApp has released a new iOS update through the App Store, bringing the version up to 24.25.89.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to scan documents with the camera, and it's available to some users!

In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.23.1.74 update, we announced that a feature to send photos and videos as documents to preserve their original quality was available. This feature allows users to select media directly from their gallery and send it as a document without any compression or quality loss. With this enhancement, users can share high-quality photos and videos up to 2GB in size, ensuring the integrity of their media files. With the WhatsApp for iOS 24.25.89 update now available on the App Store, WhatsApp continues to enhance the user experience by introducing new features that improve document sharing capabilities. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp for iOS 24.25.89 update, which is available on the App Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to scan documents with the camera!

As you can see in the attached screenshot, some users have access to a new feature that allows them to scan documents directly within the app. This new functionality is seamlessly integrated into the document-sharing menu, providing a dedicated option for users to quickly capture a document using their device's camera. The process is straightforward: after capturing the document, users can preview the scan and make adjustments by moving the automatic margins, ensuring the content within the document is framed accurately. Once satisfied, they can confirm the operation to send the scanned document, which will be instantly delivered to the chat or group.

This feature offers important convenience, especially for users who need to share documents while on the move but lack access to traditional scanning equipment. By incorporating this capability within WhatsApp, users can address their document-sharing needs without toggling between apps or depending on external tools. Additionally, the scanning functionality of the app ensures that the scanned documents are clear, legible, and professionally formatted, making them highly usable for recipients. Whether it's for personal, educational, or professional purposes, this feature enhances the user experience by streamlining the document-sharing process and saving valuable time.

It's worth noting that this feature has previously been mentioned in the official changelog on the App Store regarding the WhatsApp for iOS 24.25.80 update. This suggests that WhatsApp is actively working to ensure more users can benefit from the new document scanning feature. However, WhatsApp has further reiterated this note in the latest changelog, confirming that the rollout is now reaching an even broader audience.

A feature to scan documents with the camera is available to some users who install the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming weeks.
