I too, did not know this.
And now that I have an AirPrint capable printer, this is worthwhile news.
Occasionally, I would might have seen a feature that didn't do me any good, and forgot about it long ago.
But this is news to me.
I though this was going to be about scanning QR codes and was hoping to mention I use that almost frequently.

Good tip - news to me too. Have done a lot of flailing trying to get multiple photos of document pages into a single file attached to an email!

Well, color me ignorant. I'm running iOS 12.1.2 on my SE. I open Notes and can create a new note, but I don't see the camera icon anywhere.

Dang that is cool. Thanks for sharing ! The regular Scanner apps do OCR though, which is helpful for search functionality.

I have a scan app, but I will try this. I had no idea.

The camera app can also act as a QR code scanner. Just open up your camera, get close to the QR code, and a box will appear and ask you about opening the code's link.
This came in handy for me just a few days ago when I needed to access additional information on my dryer (broken knob).
