Description
Scanning documents on an iPhone is simple because the built‑in Notes app has a scanner that works automatically. Open the Notes app, tap the New Note button, then tap the camera icon and select Scan Documents. Hold your phone over the paper, your iPhone will detect the edges and capture the scan on its own, or you can press the shutter if you prefer. You can adjust the corners, choose color or black‑and‑white, and save it directly into the note. When you’re done, tap Save, and you can share the scanned document by email, text, or any other app you use.
