diScanner needs Camera access to scan new pages. It uses Photos access when you select existing images to create a PDF or save an individual PDF page as an image in the diScanner album.
Review the permission
- Open the iOS Settings app.
- Find diScanner in the app list.
- Enable Camera if you want to scan new pages.
- Allow Photos access if you want to create PDFs from photos or save PDF pages as images.
- Return to diScanner and retry the action.
What changes
- The exact Photos choices shown by iOS depend on the system version and whether diScanner is requesting permission to add an image.
- Denying Camera access does not prevent you from managing existing documents.
- Denying Camera access does not prevent you from creating a PDF from photos when Photos access is available.
- Permission changes do not automatically repeat a failed scan or export.
Privacy tips
- Grant only the access needed for the workflow you use.
- A page saved to Photos is a separate image copy. Deleting the PDF from diScanner does not remove that image from the diScanner album.
