To scan documents with an iPhone, the easiest built-in method is using the Notes app:

  1. Open the Notes app and either create a new note or open an existing one.
  2. Tap the Camera icon or the Attachment (paperclip) icon.
  3. Select "Scan Documents."
  4. Position your document within the camera view. The iPhone will automatically detect the edges and scan it.
  5. Adjust the corners if needed, then tap "Keep Scan."
  6. You can scan additional pages if necessary.
  7. When finished, tap "Save." The scanned document is saved as a PDF within the note.

This built-in scanner works well for digitizing documents quickly without extra apps. For more advanced features like OCR or merging scans, you can also download dedicated scanner apps such as Adobe Scan or Microsoft Office Lens from the App Store. Make sure the document is on a flat surface with good lighting to optimize scan quality.
