Take Notes With Your iPhone

You probably already know you can take notes with your iPhone’s Notes app and keep track of everything you see at school. However, that’s just the basic stuff; you can take it one step further.

If your iPhone has iOS 18, you can also automatically record and transcribe all your classes. With the new transcription feature, your iPhone will automatically record everything that happens in your class.

To use it, open a new note and tap on the Attachment button (the one that looks like a paper clip) at the bottom of your screen. Next, select Record Audio and tap the red button to start recording.

Everything your iPhone records will be transcribed, and you can access it by tapping the little speech bubble in the bottom left corner.

Additionally, if you want to get creative with your notes, you can use Apple Intelligence. First, an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 model will let you turn those full-length transcripts into summaries to review the key points. However, it goes even further.

With the Image Playground feature, which you can find by tapping the Attachment button, you can make your iPhone draw anything you see on your notes. That way, you can make your notes more fun to read and even help you create a cool decoration for your homework.
