Need to scan something? I’m always surprised how many people use third-party apps for this when you can do it using your phone’s built-in resources.

The easiest way on an iPhone is to use the handy document scanner built into the native Notes app.

• Open the Notes app. Create a new note by clicking the icon that looks like a square with a pen located at the bottom right of the screen. 
• Tap the camera icon at the bottom of your new note and select Scan Documents.

On an Android, try the scan feature in Google Drive:

• Open the Google Drive app. Tap the plus button in the bottom right corner.
• Tap Scan and allow access to your camera, if you haven’t already. Follow the on-screen prompts to take and save your photos.
