Get started with the Notes app on iPhone
Use the Notes app to quickly capture your thoughts. You can add images and sketches, make checklists, or even scan documents. And with iCloud, your notes stay up to date on all your devices wherever you go.

Jot down a quick note
Open the Notes app to start gathering your ideas. You can also start a note from another app or in Control Center. These are called Quick Notes.

Scan documents
Use the iPhone camera to scan text and documents. You can mark up a scanned document and even add your signature.

Add sketches and more
Draw a picture or write a note with your finger. You can choose from a variety of Markup tools and colors and draw straight lines with the ruler.

Organize with tags and Smart Folders
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.
