Notes

The Notes  app is great for note-taking. Notes features basic formatting tools, like headings and tables. You can also draw, add photographs and use the camera to scan documents to add as notes. Notes can transcribe your dictated notes with punctuation!

Notes synced to iCloud will sync to your other devices signed in to the same account. This also means that shared notes update automatically for everyone they are shared with.

Typing and dictating a note

1. On the Home screen, tap Notes . The app will open to the last note you were viewing or working on.
2. Tap New Note  (lower right) to begin a new note.
3. If the keyboard is not visible, touch anywhere on the note, and the keyboard will appear at the bottom of the screen.
4. Use the keyboard to type something in, like “I love my iPhone !”
5. You can also tap the microphone icon  to activate Siri and dictate your note. You can verbalize punctuation, like saying “comma.” The punctuation will be inserted, not the word. (You must be connected to the Internet to use dictation.)
