You may not recognize the Microsoft Lens name yet. Microsoft only recently changed the name from Office Lens to Microsoft Lens. When Microsoft announced that name change, it announced that new features, including the ability to scan up to 100 pages to create PDFs, were on the way. Those features rolled out first to Android and now are available on the iOS version of the app.
When Microsoft outlines the upcoming changes in a Tech Community post, it said that they would roll out over the coming months. That means that it's likely that we'll see more features roll out to Microsoft Lens on iOS soon.
