Google Drive Has A Built-In Document Scanner: Here's How It Works
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to scan a document using the Google Drive app on your iOS and Android devices.

Google Drive users on Android devices have been able to scan documents and save them as PDFs for some time now. However, the tech giant recently rolled out this feature for iOS users too. The feature was available on Android devices for over a decade and the tech giant added a few new features to the document scanner in November 2023. However, iPhone and iPad users did not have the same option.

The iOS users will now be able to quickly scan documents with the help of Google Drive itself and add them to their libraries, according to reports.
