The iPhone and iPad cameras can be used to scan images or documents directly to the board. Users on these devices can also draw on the board with their fingers or use the Apple Pencil on the iPad.

Whether used for a standalone or group project, FreeForm boards are synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and taps into the collaboration features built into Messages.

Users can also invite collaborators via email or link.
