Saved scans in Notes

I scanned documents using the Notes app and didn’t put them in a folder. Can I find the scans again or are they lost? I did not have save to images turned in at the time

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hey N8tksvy,


Since it wasn't set to save to the Photos app, they may be in the Notes app under View Attachments. To see, open the Notes app > tap the More icon (three dots) in the upper right section > tap View Attachments. The scanned documents should be located there.


You can also review the steps by scrolling down to the section labeled "View all attachments in Notes" in this article: Add photos, videos, and more to notes on iPhone. Attachments that are part of a locked note will not show up there.


Hope this helps. Take care.
