On my iPhone, using iOS 13.5.1, in Notes, if I tap on camera icon, it opens a window in which I can choose what to do: scan, take a picture or video, open the camera roll, as per this userguide section:--> Add attachments to notes on iPhone - Apple Support

If you do not see that window, try a forced restart of your iPhone:--> Force restart iPhone – Apple Support

It

does not work I don’t understand the logic of opening a note on my phone hitting the camera button it doesn’t go to the document on my phone it goes to take a picture even though I’ve requested to scan

per these instructions

Place your document in view of the camera on your device.

How can you place a document this on your phone into the of your camera My iPhone 11 won’t do it and it doesn’t make any logical to me either

Ohh... sorry about that.

In Notes, tapping on the camera icon, can you see the window with the options I listed?

or, please better describe (with some more details) what happens when you try, and what your needs are, keeping in mind that there are many 3rd party apps. Before that feature was natively available in Notes, I used to scan my documents using an app called "Genius Scan", but there are many other on AppStore.
