Notifications: an alert when someone comments on or reacts to your note, or mentions you in a note or a comment with @ and your initials (as in @MS). The bell on Home lists them. Faster: Home, your lists and your notes open at once while the newest copy loads, and the app keeps loading by itself instead of showing a connection error. Dark mode: notes written in black text are now easy to read in dark mode. Dictation that writes as you talk: tap the microphone in a note, in Ask AI, or beside + for a new note. Your words appear while you speak and go in where you were typing when you tap Done. Ums and false starts come out, numbers are written the way the desk writes them (40 bp, 3Q26), a spoken list becomes bullets, and the names you cover are spelled right. Start it from anywhere with Siri, Shortcuts or the Action button: "Dictate a note in Clearline Notes". More room to read: a note's header, tickers and title scroll away with the note, and reactions, comments and related notes come at the end of the note instead of staying on screen. The tickers at the top are small chips; tap one for its page. Settings: Account > Settings has the same settings as the web. Choose where the app opens (your own notebook unless you pick another), where new notes go, the order of the note list, auto-correct for tickers and acronyms, light or dark, and your call-note settings and skills. They match the web and the Windows and Mac apps. Switch lists from the title: on the Notes tab, tap the title to see all notes, your notes or any notebook. iPhone Duo: open, the app uses the whole screen, and held upright it puts the tabs along the bottom.

Live calls: follow a colleague's call as it is transcribed, line by line, and get an alert when one starts. Calls that are on now sit at the top of Home. Reactions and comments: react to any note or leave a comment, and see who wrote what and when. Nothing typed is lost: text you haven't saved yet is kept on your iPhone and sent to Notes as soon as it can be reached. iPhone Duo: open the phone and Notes uses both pages, one each side of the fold, with a divider you can drag. Links in notes: a web address you type or paste becomes a link. Also: the app's version at the bottom of Account, and many smaller fixes.
