Have you only used your simple Notes app for just jotting down a quick note? Or maybe Notes is your heavy hitter app that you go to all the time when you’ve got to get your thoughts down. Either way, there might be some features you didn’t know Notes was capable of, and they might help you be more efficient when using it.

Use Siri to dictate notes
Just say, “hey Siri, take a note”, and she will dictate your note and add it to your notes folder.

Share a note/folder
Tap on the Share note button from the toolbar. Send an invite using the Messages or Mail apps. Once someone joins in, they’ll be able to edit notes. You can edit it so that they can view only or collaborate, and you can decide if they can invite others as well. Shared shopping list or potluck anyone?

Lock your notes
You can protect it using a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. After opening the note, tap on the Share button and select Lock Note. Enter a passcode, or enable Touch ID or Face ID, and your note is protected. But make sure to remember the actual password or you might get locked out if your face/touch ID does not work.

Save websites and links
Tap the share button on a web browser and the link will be added to your notes with a preview of the link.

Use hashtags to organize
Add a hashtag and your keyword within the notes, and notes will be grouped by hashtag on your notes home page making it really easy to find similar notes.

Create smart folders
You probably know that you can create folders to organize your notes, but you can have Notes automatically drop notes in folders based on the hashtags you have created.

View all attachments
You can view all your photos, files, scans and documents in one fell swoop. Tap the menu icon and select View Attachments. Click view in note to go directly to that note.
