Lock your notes on iPhone

In the Notes app , you can lock notes to protect your sensitive information with Face ID (iPhone X and later), Touch ID (other models), or a password. Notes uses a single password for all your locked notes, on all of your devices.

Set Face ID, Touch ID, or a password to unlock your notes

The password you set applies to all notes you lock from now on. Notes that already have a password aren’t affected.

Go to Settings > Notes > Password.
Turn on Face ID or Touch ID, or enter a password.
Important: If you don’t turn on Face ID or Touch ID, you won’t be able to access your locked notes if you reset your password later.

If you forget your notes password, you can reset it. Go to Settings > Notes > Password > Reset Password. The new password applies to all notes you lock from now on, but it doesn’t give you access to your previously locked notes.

Also, if you didn’t activate Face ID or Touch ID when you set the original password, you won’t be able to access notes you locked before resetting the password.

See the Apple Support article Lock notes on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.
