Use Quick Notes on Your iPhone
Quick Note was originally a feature exclusive to iPad and Mac, but now you can also use it on your iPhone.
The name says it all, but this feature will help you create a new note without having to open the Notes app.
Instead, you’ll just need to use your Control Center, and you’ll be able to write a note, no matter which app you’re using. This is perfect if you have a burst of creativity or if there’s a reminder or something else you need to jot down quickly.
To use Quick Notes, you’ll first need to add it to your iPhone’s Control Center like this:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and select Control Center.
- Scroll down and choose the plus button on the left side of the Quick Note control.
- This will add it to your Control Center, and you can drag the three lines on the far right of the Quick Note control to move it up or down.
Now that you have added the new control, all you need to do is open your Control Center. If you’re on an iPhone with Face ID, you’ll need to swipe down from the top right corner of the screen. If you’re on an iPhone with Touch ID, swipe up from the bottom of your screen.
Tap the Quick Note Control, and start writing whatever you want. When you’re done, tap on Save in the top right corner of the screen. Your iPhone will automatically save your Quick Note in the Notes app.
