The app is packed full of features that many note-taking apps charge money for, so if you\u2019re not yet using it you might want to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How (and Why) to Switch to Apple Notes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scan_Documents_and_Text\"><\/span>Scan Documents and Text<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On an iPhone or iPad, Notes can function as a document scanner that automatically saves any captures to iCloud. This allows you to access them on just about any device shortly after you\u2019ve completed a scan.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, open a new note and tap on the camera icon at the bottom of the screen. Choose \u201cScan Documents\u201d from the menu that appears, then point your camera at whatever it is you\u2019re trying to scan and wait. This works best if you put the document on a contrasting background, for example, a white piece of paper on a dark desk.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-809325\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/scan_text_documents_apple_notes-1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Scan documents and text with Apple Notes\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also choose \u201cScan Text\u201d from the camera menu if you\u2019d rather take an editable copy of the text and place it directly into a note. This allows you to edit the text as if you\u2019d typed it yourself. It\u2019s especially useful for grabbing quotes from books that you want to paste into a document or to capture large bodies of text quickly so that you can search through them for keywords.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Scan Documents with the iPhone&#8217;s Notes App<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Draw_Perfect_Freehand_Shapes\"><\/span>Draw Perfect Freehand Shapes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use the markup tools in a note to scribble and draw on an iPhone or iPad.

On an iPad with an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/10168\/should-you-buy-an-apple-pencil-with-your-ipad\/\">Apple Pencil<\/a>, you can take handwritten notes, draw freehand, and use the ruler to make perfectly straight lines.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-809324\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/draw_shapes_apple_notes-1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Draw perfect shapes in Apple Notes\" width=\"650\" height=\"510\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But did you know you can also draw perfect shapes? To do this, draw a shape as you normally would but don\u2019t take your finger (or Pencil) off the screen. Keep holding your finger or stylus down for a few seconds to see the shape magically transform into a perfect version of itself. This works with squares and rectangles, straight and curved lines, circles, triangles, stars, and pentagons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Draw Perfect Shapes on iPhone and iPad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaborate_on_and_Share_Notes\"><\/span>Collaborate on (and Share) Notes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple Notes isn\u2019t quite Google Drive when it comes to sharing and collaboration, but for a note-taking app, the list of features is pretty exhaustive. You can share and collaborate on a note in real-time, just as you would in Google Docs. To do this, you\u2019ll need to be logged into your Apple ID with a note open. On an iPhone tap on the ellipsis \u201c\u2026\u201d icon in the top-right corner, then tap \u201cShare Note\u201d and on a Mac, you can just tap on the \u201cShare Note\u201d button that looks like a person\u2019s head with a plus icon next to it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-779663\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/share_note.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"How to share Apple Notes\" width=\"596\" height=\"650\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At the next stage, you\u2019ll be able to specify whether you want to share the note with edit privileges (labeled \u201cCan make changes\u201d) or as \u201cView only\u201d with the option to limit whether who you\u2019re sharing it with can share it with more people. You can send an invite using a range of apps including Messages, Mail, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, or simply by copying a link that you can pass on to someone any other way.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve shared a note with someone, you can use the @mention format to tag them and get detailed breakdowns of changes made to notes.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share_and_Collaborate_on_Whole_Folders\"><\/span>Share (and Collaborate on) Whole Folders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can move a note to a specific folder using the ellipsis \u201c\u2026\u201d context menu on an iPhone or iPad or by right-clicking the note on a Mac and choosing the \u201cMove to\u201d option. If you\u2019re frequently collaborating with someone on something and you\u2019d rather not share each note individually but as a whole collection, you can share the folder instead.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-767717\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/apple_notes_folders.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple Notes folders on iOS\" width=\"650\" height=\"435\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With your designated folder created, you can share a folder on iPhone or iPad by swiping left on it from the top-level \u201cFolders\u201d screen. Tap on the blue \u201cShare\u201d icon (it looks like a person\u2019s head with a plus arrow next to it) then share it as you would a regular note. You can do the same from a Mac by right-clicking on the folder in the sidebar and choosing the \u201cShare Folder\u201d option.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filter_With_Smart_Folders\"><\/span>Filter With Smart Folders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple loves Smart Folders. They\u2019ve been a staple on the Mac for years, Apple Mail has Smart Mailboxes which function in an identical manner, and you can also use them in Apple Notes. Here, they allow you to bring together notes regardless of the folder you have used to organize them thanks to tags.<\/p>\n<p>Tagging notes in Apple Mail must be done within the note body itself using a #hashtag format. By sharing tags across your entire notes collection, you can create a new smart folder to filter by tag and bring together relevant items. So for example you may want to tag all proof of purchases with the #receipt tag, but separate each into separate folders for work and personal. If you want to display all receipts at tax time regardless of where they are stored, you can create a Smart Folder that pulls in and displays only notes tagged with #receipt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-771610\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/smart_folder_mac.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Create smart folder in Apple Notes\" width=\"650\" height=\"333\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Create a Smart Folder as you would a normal folder. On iPhone or iPad, tap on the \u201cNew Folder\u201d icon in the bottom-left corner of the top-level \u201cFolders\u201d screen. Select \u201cNew Smart Folder\u201d then give it a name and decide which tags to filter by. On a Mac you can click on the \u201cNew Folder\u201d button in the bottom-left corner of the app then do the same. Smart Folders that are stored in iCloud appear on all of your devices.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_a_Quick_Note\"><\/span>Take a Quick Note<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can take access notes on an iPhone or iPad by adding the Apple Notes widget to your home screen. To take a quick note, you can add the New Note shortcut to Control Center. To do this, head to Settings &gt; Control Center and tap the green plus \u201c+\u201d icon next to the \u201cNotes\u201d option. You can drag it up and down in the list to reorder where it appears.<\/p>\n<p>You can then access this shortcut on an iPhone or modern iPad by swiping down from the top-left corner of the screen. If you have an older iPhone with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom of the screen instead. On older iPads with a Home button, double-tap on the Home button to reveal Control Center.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-764659\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/hot_corners_quick_note.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"macOS Hot Corners shortcuts\" width=\"650\" height=\"479\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On a Mac, you can use the Quick Note hot corner shortcut (enabled by default) in macOS Monterey.

This allows you to access and take Apple Notes on Windows or Android devices, and though it\u2019s not as good as a native app it\u2019s perfect in a pinch when you\u2019re away from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-767722\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/notes_icloud_browser.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Unlock locked note in Apple Notes\" width=\"650\" height=\"314\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pin_Useful_Notes\"><\/span>Pin Useful Notes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have notes that you need to refer to frequently, whether it\u2019s to view information or make amendments, you can pin them so that they will always appear at the top of your list. This will ensure you won\u2019t lose them among all your other notes since Apple Notes organizes everything in chronological order. It\u2019s particularly useful if you need to read information from a note without changing it since viewing a note won\u2019t \u201cbump\u201d it to the top in the same way that editing a note will.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-809326\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pin_apple_notes-1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Pin useful Apple Notes\" width=\"650\" height=\"469\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To pin a note on iPhone or iPad, open it then tap on the ellipsis \u201c\u2026\u201d context menu and select \u201cPin Note\u201d from the options that appear.
