Hi,

Here are some ways you can improve the scan quality on your device:

  • Clean the camera with a microfibre cloth
  • Restart the device
  • Make sure you are using the correct filter, you can choose the ‘photos’ filter for photos or the ‘color’ filter for regular documents. In the image below you can see what the filter button looks like in Notes while using the scanning feature

No problem!

Restarting is simply fully turning off your device then turning it back on, unlike a reset which affects your data.

Restarting will not affect your iCloud or data.


Personally I recommend restarting devices like iPhone’s and iPad’s once every 1-2 weeks to keep it running smoothly.
