Sending emails with scanned documents on iPhone or iPad was costly for users since people had to use iPhone document scanner apps. There were many apps to scan documents on iOS devices, but they were expensive and used extra space. Thanks to the new iOS 15 for allowing users to scan documents on iPhone models quickly and easily.
With iOS 15, Apple added many productive features for iPhone users. Document scanning is one of the great features of iOS 15. As the document scanner feature is a bit of hidden inside the iPhone, many users are not aware of this feature. Even it took a couple of months for me to find this feature. If you are new to iOS 15 or iPhone and looking for a way to scan documents on iPhone, here’s the ease of doing it.
