WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow you to scan documents on your Android smartphone, according to a feature tracker. This functionality is already available on WhatsApp for iOS, and it allows you to scan a document without leaving the messaging app, and sends them other users (or themselves) as media attachments. Last week, WhatsApp began testing a new AI feature, which allows some beta examiners on Android to see the AI-managed message summary in the chat.
