Quick update: I did shut down Evernote and then the iPad - but this didn’t change anything. However, it looks like I’ve found a solution. In the tablet’s settings, under “Evernote > Photos” I’ve changed the access to “None”. This seems to have sorted it out. I’ve also realised that, in Evernote settings (within the app), the Camera option (see earlier post) is actually greyed out (set to “OFF”) so I can’t access it. Thanks for all the prompt input.

Thank you - will do this shortly!

Thanks bmcl26. With your prompt, I check Evernote settings on my iPad. I found "Camera" and it gave me just one option: "Save photos to camera roll" - but it's switched off! (see attached pic). I've left it switched off. I've tested EN again and it definitely still adds images to the camera roll as well as to EN notes.

Thanks agsteele. I didn’t realise Scannable was old - it still comes up in the App Store. I can scan with my printer but, using the Evernote app is definitely quicker. This just means I need to delete the images from the Photos app - which is an embuggerance (but not the end of the world, I guess!).

As a PS: I've just realised that I do not have the Scannable app on my devices (I only just found out it was a thing!).

I have just upgraded my iPad (10th gen) to iOS 17. I’ve since used Evernote on the iPad to scan several documents, using Evernote’s “auto” option (point iPad camera at document and it automatically takes a scan). The documents all went into Evernote properly and are available on my MacBook too. I'm happy with that. I’ve since noticed that that these recently-scanned documents have also been stored as images in the Apple Photos app on my iPad. This has never happened before. It doesn’t seem to be of value to me - can I stop this happening?
