Create Smart Folders
So you probably already knew that you can now add tags to your notes on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Did you know you can create smart folders for each tag too? Smart folders will automatically collect all of your notes with one or more specific tags, so you’ll know where to find them without having to manually file them into folders. Best of all, since a note can have more than one tag, it can also appear in more than one smart folder — something that’s not possible with normal folders.
Here’s how to create a new smart folder.
- Open the Notes app.
- Tap Folders in the top-left corner to go to your Folders view.
- Tap the new folder icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
- Tap New Smart Folder from the pop-up menu that appears.
- Enter a name for your folder.
- Select the tags you want to include in this smart folder. You can select multiple tags here by tapping on them, or even create a new tag by typing in the Create New Tag field.
- When you’re finished, tap Done.
And that’s it! You don’t have to do anything else for your tagged notes to appear in that folder automatically.
