Create Quick Notes anywhere on iPhone

You can use Quick Notes to jot down information over any app or screen on iPhone. Add links, images, tags, and mentions to a Quick Note so you can get to important names, numbers, and ideas easily. When you highlight text in Safari or add a link from an app, you see a Quick Note thumbnail next time you visit the site, taking you right to what you were viewing before.

A Quick Note shows a photo of a plant with text below.

You can access all your Quick Notes in the Notes app . And when you make a Quick Note on your iPhone, you can see the note on your iPad and Mac, too.

Make a Quick Note

To start a Quick Note from any app, do any of the following:

  • Tap the Share button, then tap New Quick Note.

  • Open Control Center, then tap the Quick Note button.

    (If you don’t see the Quick Note button, add it to Control Center—go to Settings  > Control Center, then choose Quick Note.)

View and organize Quick Notes

To view all your Quick Notes in the Notes app, tap Quick Notes in the folders list.

Note: You can’t lock a Quick Note unless you move it to a different folder.

If you move an individual Quick Note to a different folder, it becomes a standard note and no longer appears as a Quick Note in other apps.
