Notes is the best place to jot down quick thoughts or to save longer notes filled with checklists, images, web links, scanned documents, handwritten notes or sketches. And with iCloud, it’s easy to keep all your devices in sync, so you’ll always have your notes with you. Features Powerful note-taking • Add attachments — PDFs, photos, maps, web links and more. • Record and transcribe audio directly into a note. • Scan paper documents with the built-in document scanner. • Secure sensitive or personal data in a locked note. • Create checklists. Make a shopping list, a wish list or a to-do list, then tap to tick off items as you go. • Apply different text styles, such as heading or body, bulleted lists, highlighting and more. • Tap next to section headers to reveal a chevron to collapse text. • Add tables to quickly organise information. • Use your finger, or Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad, to sketch directly in your note or an inline PDF. Choose from a variety of brush styles and colours, and add lines and grids to a note for easier writing and drawing. • Take a Quick Note without opening the app — add Quick Note to your Control Centre, swipe up from the bottom-right corner with an Apple Pencil on iPad, or use Fn-Q on a keyboard. Organise and search • Search for text in notes, your handwriting, and even inside scanned documents and photos like receipts or bills. • Link from one note to another to connect ideas, content or any information. Try typing >> for a shortcut to add links while writing in your note. • Keep your notes in folders and subfolders, or add tags to categorise them. Type or handwrite tags directly in your note — like #cooking or #expenses. • Automatically organise notes in a Smart Folder based on filters. Create rules to filter for Date Created, Checklists, Attachments and more. Collaborate • Collaborate on entire shared folders or on specific shared notes. • Mention friends to notify them of important updates and link them directly to a shared note. • See what others added to a shared note while you were away with Activity view, a day-to-day list summary of activity from each collaborator. Notes for Apple Watch • View all of your iCloud notes right from your wrist; you can also pin notes, complete checklist items, or create new notes with dictation or Siri. Certain features are available only in selected languages and regions.

I’m really grateful for this app, it helps me organize my thoughts, write list, notes, literally anything! I write my daily to do list and I’m able to check things off the list once I’m done. I still have notes here from 3-4 years ago, even though I have changed my phone I still have my notes intact! If I had written on a book I would have lost it by now or maybe it would have been full. But this note here on my phone never gets full 💃🏽5 stars for you!

I used my notes the previous day but only to wake up in the morning to access it and notes in my iCloud is no more showing and these are important notes dating back from 2015. When I check from my iPhone storage it shows the size of my note while in the note app it’s completely empty. Please how do I resolve this issue?

This app is wonderful i like it’s lock feature and many more. The problem is most at times one can mistakenly erase the content of a very important note and the content would be gone. So i am suggesting a new feature where you can set a note to be uneditable so corrections can’t be made to it and also for shared not it could be set that those the note are shared with can or cannot make changes to the note. Thank it would be really helpful is this is considered
