    Hi all,

    We have pushed a server-side fix. You should see that the Doc Scanner now functions as expected.

    There's no need to update to a new build, as the fix exists on our server.

    Many thanks for your patience!

Hi

I have same problem, and i am running 114.2.2 on IOS 12, i followed the steps, and that did not solve the problem.

Could this be related to IOS 12?

      Thanks for the swift response with this screenshot Jess - much obliged.

      Can you also let me know if you have already cleared your cache ( as per my previous post on this thread)? Also, have you restarted your mobile at all lately? Does this persist when you use only cellular data, your wifi or both? Can you perform some tests for me? First would be to try the same action when on cellular data. Second one is to try it on WiFi only and the last step would be to try with both options activated. 

      If possible, could you try this on another WiFi as well?  Moreover, does this happen for all of your scans or only this specific one? 

      Thank you for your cooperation in advance JessKris!~
