Document Scan on iphone 12 running IOS 14.6 Any advice to be able to scan documents using notes app on iphone 12 running 14.6 IOS? I don't have the camera icon when creating new or editing existing notes and app says Notes App Needs Upgraded to Create directly from home screen (using firm press and hold method). How do I upgrade notes app? Phone and app are both up-to-date.

I looked for Notes in the App store on my iPhone 13 but did not know which one to choose in order to scan documents. Which one specifically does this without charge? Apple Support sent me instructions for Scanning with my iPhone without payment. It tells me to "open Notes". I looked in the Apps for "Notes", but there are many, and I do not know which one to use for scanning documents, that is also free of charge. (Background info: I have an HP Scanner which I used for many years with my Mac, but suddenly, apparently due to the most recent "upgrade" by Apple itself, my HP scanner no longer works with my Mac, so thank you Apple.)
