#18: Take Notes
The iPhone’s Notes app has come a long way from being just a digital scratchpad. Today, it’s a full-featured productivity tool hiding in plain sight. Beyond typing quick ideas, you can now use it to scan documents, organize tasks, and even transcribe text from images. With a few taps, your phone becomes a pocket-sized office assistant.
By tapping the camera icon in the Notes app, you can scan physical documents and save them in high quality. You can choose between color or black-and-white formats depending on your needs. There’s even an option to pull text from a photo and paste it directly into your notes. These updates make the app incredibly useful for students, professionals, or anyone who needs to capture and organize information quickly. It’s not just for grocery lists anymore—it’s your new scanning tool, too.
