- Only the default 'Scan' option is displayed in the camera-upload menu, while the 'Business card' and 'Photo' options are completely missing.
Check the App Store to ensure your OneDrive app is updated to the latest version, as temporary bugs causing UI elements to disappear are often patched in newer releases.
Report the Issue Through the OneDrive App Feedback Portal
Since this missing feature is a reproducible bug on iOS, submitting a detailed error report directly to the Microsoft product team is the most effective way to ensure a fix in a future update.
Microsoft relies on user feedback to identify device-specific bugs. By providing your exact OS and app version, the developers can isolate why the Business Card and Photo scanning modules are failing to load in your application.
Launch the OneDrive app on your iOS device and tap your Profile picture located in the top-left corner of the screen.
From the account menu, scroll down and select the 'Help & Feedback' option.
Tap on 'Report a Problem'. In the description box, clearly state that the 'Business card' and 'Photo' options are missing from the camera-upload menu. Be sure to include your specific device model, iOS version, and current OneDrive app version.
Use WPS Office for Reliable Document and Photo Scanning
If you are frustrated by missing features or bugs in your current cloud drive apps, switch to WPS Office. It provides a robust, built-in document scanner along with a fully compatible suite for all your daily productivity needs.
- 1. Open WPS Office: Launch the WPS Office app on your iOS device.
- 2. Access the Scanner: Tap the '+' (Add) icon at the bottom of the screen and select 'Scanner'.
- 3. Scan Your Documents: Choose the appropriate scanning mode (Document, Business Card, etc.) to capture and save your files as PDFs or images.
