Google Drive users on Android devices have been able to scan documents and save them as PDFs for quite some time now. However, the tech giant recently rolled out this feature for iOS users as well. The feature was available on Android devices for over a decade and the tech giant added some new features to the document scanner in November 2023. However, iPhone and iPad users did not have the same option.

According to reports, iOS users will now be able to instantly scan documents and add them to their library with the help of Google Drive.
