The camera doesn't work

The live screen is grey

If you tap the scanning button but the live screen is grey, Genius Scan cannot capture a new document. This happens when your device doesn't have enough space.

Clean up some space; after that, Genius Scan should work properly:

• Apple offers some recommendations on how to do that.

• Android provides some recommendations on how to free space as well.

The easiest is generally to remove unused applications or delete videos from your photos.
