Good news for iPhone users! This new feature will make documents scanning, sharing easy like never before

Are you an iPhone user? If yes, then this feature is going to be really helpful for you to scan documents, save it and share it with your contacts. For this, you need not install any third-party apps. Apple is adding a document scanner, as per a CNET report. With the release of iOS 11, the tech giant is adding a feature that would enable you to scan and save documents to your device as well as allowing the users to edit the scanned documents like sign, highlight the desired part, convert it into PDF file and share it, said the report. However, for this scanning feature, Apple is not launching a standalone app. Instead, it built it into the Notes app. Here is how it works:

– The first step is to place the document on a flat surface having enough light on it to make it clearly visible.

– Open the Notes App on your iPhone.
