This has certainly happened to you before, you need to quickly scan a document before signing it and then sending it back. The only problem is that you don't have a scanner available, and you don't know which application to download to do the operation from your iPhone. Don't panic, your iPhone natively integrates a rather unknown, but nevertheless particularly practical scanner.

A scanner integrated into our iPhone ? But yes !

Indeed, even though the vast majority of our daily activities are now carried out entirely digitally, we may sometimes be asked to work with physical documents, “the old-fashioned way“. And if you don't have a printer-scanner nearby, which you know how to use at least a little bit, you may tend to panic when faced with this task, which is nevertheless very simple, but which can quickly turn out to be impossible.

In reality, when it comes to scanning a document, all you need to do is grab your iPhone. Indeed, if applications (like Google Photos) offer an excellent scanner mode, this is also the case for iOS for a few years. No third-party application is necessary, since everything goes take place directly from the Notes application. We explain.
