Use Quick Notes 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.

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.

Take a Quick Note

To make a Quick Note, do any of the following:

  • From any app or screen: Add the Quick Note button to Control Center, then tap the Quick Note button in Control Center. Tap Save when you’re done.

  • From supported apps: Tap the Share button, then tap Add to Quick Note. Tap Save when you’re done.

View and organize Quick Notes

  1. Go to the Notes app on your iPhone.

  2. Tap Quick Notes in the folders list. You may have to tap the Back button to see your folders.

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.
