In iOS 18, you can use Quick Notes to jot down information (inks, images, tags, etc.) over any app or screen on iPhone.
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.
How take a Quick Note
To make a Quick Note from any app, do any of the following:
- Tap
, then tap Add to Quick Note.
- Open Control Center, then tap
.
(If you don’t see> Control Center, then choose Quick Note.)
How to view and organize Quick Notes
- Go to the Notes app
on your iPhone.
- 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.
