The Notes app is where the magic begins. However, what’s awesome about this document-scanning feature is that you don’t even need to open the Notes app to get started.
- Find the Notes app on your home screen.
- Perform a long press until you see a menu appear.
- Tap on “Scan Document.”
- Next, the Camera app should appear. Make sure your document is centered in the viewfinder. Once it’s centered, the shutter should automatically go off.
- On the bottom left of the screen, hit Save. The scanned documents will populate in a new note within the Notes app, so you should find them there.
