Pressing and holding the Files icon on the iOS home screen allows you to directly access the scanning feature.

Pretty handy! I didn’t know this feature existed, and the scanner app I had been using stopped working a couple months ago and I haven’t been able to find a replacement that I was happy with.

On the latest iOS update, searching for the Files app also returns a shortcut to the scanner. Weirdly, searching for "scan" or similar doesn't return it... The icon is similar in design to the control centre so you'd think it could be added there, but again, it's unavailable...

You need to type "scan d" for it to work. It's funny how both Windows and iOS manage to struggle with pretty basic search functionality.

> Nobody uses Files

What else would you use? I use it quite often.

Same, but to answer your question: Notes app also has scanning.
