If you're like most people, you've probably never done anything but point your camera at a document and take a photo. It's not that hard! But if you want to scan documents on your iPhone, there's a lot more to it than just taking a picture.
But don't worry because we've got you covered. In this guide, we'll walk through the steps of how to scan on iPhone: what to do before starting, how to actually scan the document, and how to save it.
Ready? Let's get started!
iPhone users have three ways to scan documents. The first is to use the built-in camera app, which has built-in scanning features that can be accessed by swiping right on the camera interface.
The second way to scan documents is by using a third-party app, such as Scanbot, Evernote, or CamScanner. These apps all offer unique features and services, but all offer a variety of options for scanning. Some apps will even allow you to upload your scans directly to an online storage service such as Google Drive and Dropbox.

The third way to scan documents is by using a third-party app called Adobe Scan, which allows you to import photos from your phone's camera roll or take new ones directly from within the app itself!
Here's how to scan a document with your iPhone:
1. Install the [app] on your smartphone.
2. Open the app, and tap the plus sign in the upper right corner. The app will automatically open up to the camera viewfinder.
3. Make sure that your document is flat and well-lit, then hold it as straight as possible over the camera lens so that it fills up most of the frame in the center of the screen (but don't let it overlap too much). If you need more light or want to change its position, move it around until you find something that works well!
4. Now, touch anywhere on the screen to take a picture of your document! The app will automatically crop out any excess background from around your photo so that all you see is what matters most: your scanned image!

Can I use my iPhone's camera for scanning?
Yes! You can use your phone's camera for scanning documents, too. Open the app and point it at what you want to scan. The app will tell you when it's ready for your picture or video—and then all you have to do is take it!

What kind of documents can I scan on my iPhone?
You can use the Scan app to scan any paper document: receipts, bills, contracts, whiteboard notes—anything! Just make sure that it's not too long or wide for your phone's camera to pick up efficiently.

What kind of scanner should I get?
The best kind of scanner for any device is one that works with your phone's operating system (iOS or Android). This will allow the app to integrate seamlessly into your phone's features, such as allowing the scanning process to begin by pressing down on the screen and then letting go when it senses an item. You can also use this type of scanner to take pictures of documents or other items instead of using the actual camera on your phone.
