If you’re scanning shopping or to-do lists, use the Share options to copy your items into Reminders where you can add alarms, location triggers and so on.
We love the Notes app on our iPhone, but we can’t quite stop ourselves from putting our pen to Post-It notes or scribbling on the backs of envelopes. And that’s why the scanning features in the Notes app are so useful. Whether it’s an important letter, a receipt that you need to keep or a scrawled shopping list, you can use your iPhone camera to capture it – and you can turn it into text that you can then tick off, edit or share. It’s then available wherever you have a phone, tablet or computer using your Apple ID.
