How can I access the Camera in Notes on iOS 18?

Why can’t Apple ever correct their old instructions when updated I.e. there is no camera on the toolbar now, instead there is a paper clip to get to scan.

WOW Would that be sooo difficult ……..!!!

Thank you for the solution to the IOS 18 update! I have been looking everywhere! The solutions from previous updates did NOT solve the problem but clicking on the paper clip sure did!

You mean like this documentation?

Scan text and documents in Notes using the iPhone camera - Apple Support

Unfortunately when I just did a google search for this it pointed me to this older version which is not updated. How to scan documents on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Glad to see they do have an updated doc out there, it's just not the first that comes up. Even going to apple support and searching 'how to scan document on iPhone' the first relevant response is a link to the older version.

Hi ,

you just click on paper clip sign at the bottom tool bar then a drop down few options appear on of the will be the camera 😊

Thank you so much for explaining this, I was so frustrated when I couldn't find it. A bit rude of apple to have changed the interface without telling users.

It is so much harder to get to apps after this recent update. Hope Apple makes an update for that!!
