However, if you use Apple products, you already have Apple Notes, which is a built-in note-taking tool. 

Apple Notes is one of my favorite apps, and I’ve been using it for almost 5 years. In this article, I’ll go through a portion of my favorite feature in Apple Notes, and I hope you’ll find it useful. Thus, without getting any further due, we should begin.

As a result, the Apple Notes application will be installed on your Apple device regardless of when you buy it.

For example, you can create a note on your iPhone, then change or edit it on your iPad before deleting or erasing it on your MacBook. It’s that easy to interact with, and all of your actions will be tailored to your various devices.

2 .Create Notes using Siri.

You may use Siri on your Apple device to take notes. You can start by asking Siri to “Make a note” or “Take a note.” Then it will ask you what you need to remember for your memo. After that, you can fill in the blanks and edit your note as needed. You can also use Siri to update your existing notes.

You may lock notes in Apple Notes with either a Secret key, Touch ID, or Face ID. You’ll be asked to set up a Secret key for your note at first, and assuming your iPhone has Touch ID or Face ID, you’ll want to use Touch ID or Face ID to open your notes. This is a fantastic feature that prevents unauthorized access to your data. 

Although this is a more secure method of protecting your data, it is not recommended to save sensitive information such as passwords or Visa numbers in this manner.

To give it more power, To lock your note, first go inside it and click the three dots in the upper right corner, then select Lock.

6. Add photos using your iPhone/ iPad.

This is one of my favorite aspects of the entire Apple ecosystem. When working with a Macintosh or MacBook, this feature is quite useful and beneficial. Assume you’re using your MacBook to make a note for your school and you need to include one of your paintings or drawings that you drew for the class. 

As a result of this feature, you can easily add your sketch or put it into your note using your iPhone or iPad.

For your notes, the Apple Notes program provides both a list and a gallery view. Of course, the list view will be picked, and you can flip it whenever necessary on your MacBook, iPhone, iPad, or other devices. 

Even if you set it to the gallery view, all of your secret word secured (Locked) notes will remain hidden. Instead of words or images, these notes will have a major lock.

9. All Attachments in a Single Window.

You can include photographs, sketches, drawings, and check documents in your notes to make them more useful to viewers and readers. Pictures offer additional shading to your notes, especially when they are for your daily schedule. 

However, if you need to go back and look at those pictures and sketches later, or if you need to refer to a certain note, it won’t be a straightforward task and will take up more time. In any event, in Apple Notes, you may eliminate this problem by viewing all of your notes in a single window.
