The iPhone can now scan your documents. Here's how. iOS 11 has a hidden document scanner. You can find it in the Notes app. Make a new note by clicking here. Select the "Plus" button. "Scan Documents." The yellow guides will help you take a level photo. Crop the photo by dragging the 4 magnifying corner points. Select "Keep Scan." You can change the document to grayscale or black and white. This will help remove shadows and other artifacts. Add more scans, or click "Save." Use this button to share the document. You can turn it into a PDF and save it to Apple's new "Files" app. You can even print to nearby printers. Goodbye, large scanners!
