Apple updates its pre-installed applications every year with the new iOS and iPadOS operating systems for iPhones and iPads. One of the basic applications that has received major improvements over the past few years is the Notes app. With iOS 12, the company added the feature to scan documents directly from iPhones or iPads. Before this, users had to install another application on their devices to scan files.
If you scan a document using the Notes app on your device, the scanned document automatically syncs to other devices using the same iCloud ID. To know how to scan documents on your iPhone or iPad using the Notes app, follow these steps.
