Guide to Enabling WhatsApp's Hidden Cameras.

WhatsApp has several features that often go unnoticed by many of its users, among which are the app's secret cameras. One advantage of these features is that activating them does not require complicated codes or the need to download beta versions of the app; you just need to follow a few simple steps.

One of these tools allows users to scan images to extract text from them, similar to the document scanning function. This option is useful for sending notes taken during meetings, thus facilitating the sharing of information without requiring the recipient to decipher handwriting. To activate it, the user must enter WhatsApp, press and hold the text entry area in the conversation, and select the "Scan text" option. It is important to note that this function is available only in the WhatsApp version for iPhone.

Another secret camera allows for more practical video recording since it is not necessary to hold down the recording button. This is especially advantageous when you need to record an event while being aware of your surroundings, such as during an incident. To enable this feature, simply press and hold the camera icon next to the text box, then swipe up to lock the camera and start recording. Additionally, it is possible to switch to the main camera of the phone for use in recordings.

Finally, there is a feature that allows users to create a shortcut for recordings on Android devices, although this may vary depending on the manufacturer and personalization of the device. To activate it, the user needs to press and hold the home screen until the widget options appear, locate WhatsApp, and select the camera widget. If this option is not available, users can also quickly access the camera by pressing the app icon, which will open a menu with various options, including the option to start recordings.
