Organize your notes with tags on iPhone

In the Notes app, you can use tags as a fast and flexible way to categorize and organize your notes. You can add one or more tags to a note, such as #shopping and #work, and easily search and filter your notes across folders using the Tag Browser or Smart Folders.

Add tags to notes

To add a tag to a note, type # followed by the tag name, then add a space after the tag to activate it. Active tags turn yellow. You can also choose an existing tag from the menu above the keyboard. Tags must be one word, but you can use dashes and underscores to combine words. If you save a note without activating your tag, it won't be saved as a tag. You can add multiple tags to a note.

Tip: You can use your finger to write a tag in a note. Tap the underlined tag, then tap “Convert to tag.”

View notes with tags

Below the Tags section at the bottom of the folders list, do any of the following:

  • View all notes with tags: Tap All Tags.

  • View notes with specific tags: Tap one or more tags; to exclude a tag, tap the tag until the name has a line through it. Then choose to view notes matching any or all of the selected tags.

Rename or delete a tag

Do any of the following:

  • Below the Tags section at the bottom of the folders list, touch and hold a tag, then tap Rename Tag or Delete Tag.

  • Tap Edit (at the top of the folders list), scroll down to the tags, then tap a tag to rename it or tap the Delete button.

When you delete a tag, it’s also removed from all Smart Folders that use it.
