How to scan a document directly from the Files app on iPhone
One method that has long existed is using the inbuilt Notes app and scanning the documents straight to it. But I prefer using the Files app because this makes it easily accessible even in third-party apps like WhatsApp, email, etc. Thus, I can scan a document, it gets saved in the Files app on the device or iCloud as a PDF, and I can attach it in any chat app, email, AirDrop, and more. If you need more help like moving files, compressing them to make a ZIP file, etc., please see our detailed guide on using the Files app. This is how you can use the iPhone or iPad Files app to scan and store documents. I hope this brief guide was helpful. If you need something else, have a look at our list of best document scanner apps for iPhone and iPad. One that I particularly love is Microsoft Lens. I used it before switching to the iOS Files app. Check out next:
