Title: How to use Notes on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide Post by: HCK on August 17, 2014, 09:00:29 pm How to use Notes on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide
<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-notes-iphone-and-ipad-ultimate-guide' title="How to use Notes on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2014/08/notes_iphone_5s_hero.jpg?itok=ypotZ4fj' />[/url]</p> <p>The Notes (http://www.imore.com/notes-iphone-ipad) app is the built-in way to take notes, draft memos, jot down thoughts, and otherwise record text on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. As apps go, Notes is bare-bones. You can enter and edit text, look for replacement words, and get definitions, sync between iOS, Mac, and iCloud.com, and even control Notes via Apple's virtual personal assistant, <a href="http://www.imore.com/siri" title="Siri commands, tricks, apps, help, and how-to">Siri[/url], but that's about it. Previously you could change the font but that went away with iOS 7. However, iOS 8 will be bringing a few new features, including support for rich text — bold, italics, and underline — as well as the ability to insert pictures.</p> <p>For now, this is everything you can do with Notes for iOS 7, but we'll be updating for iOS 8 as soon as its released so keep checking back!<!--break--></p> <div id="block-block-66" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <ul><li>How to setup iCloud notes sync on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-set-icloud-mail-contacts-calendars-and-more-iphone-ipad)</li> <li>How to setup Google notes sync on your iPhone or iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-to-setup-gmail-google-calendar-contacts-iphone-ipad)</li> <li>How to create a new Note on iPhone or iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-create-edit-and-delete-notes-iphone-or-ipad#create)</li> <li>How to edit an existing Note on iPhone or iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-create-edit-and-delete-notes-iphone-or-ipad#edit)</li> <li>How to switch Note accounts on iPhone or iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-create-edit-and-delete-notes-iphone-or-ipad#switch)</li> <li>How to delete a Note on iPhone or iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-create-edit-and-delete-notes-iphone-or-ipad#delete)</li> <li>How to replace words on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-replace-or-define-words-iphone-and-ipad#replace)</li> <li>How to look up words on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-replace-or-define-words-iphone-and-ipad#define)</li> <li>How to add and remove dictionaries on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-to-add-remove-dictionaries-iphone-ipad)</li> <li>How to share Notes on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-share-and-print-notes-iphone-and-ipad#share)</li> <li>How to print Notes on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-share-and-print-notes-iphone-and-ipad#print)</li> <li>How to dictate a note on your iPhone or iPad with Siri (http://www.imore.com/how-take-note-your-iphone-or-ipad-siri)</li> <li>How to view a note on your iPhone or iPad with Siri (http://www.imore.com/how-view-note-your-iphone-or-ipad-siri)</li> <li>How to update a note on iPhone or iPad with Siri (http://www.imore.com/how-update-note-iphone-or-ipad-siri)</li> <li>Best note-taking apps for iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/best-note-taking-apps-iphone-and-ipad)</li> <li>Best text editing apps for iPad (http://www.imore.com/best-text-editing-apps-ipad)</li> <li>Best handwriting note apps for iPad (http://www.imore.com/best-handwriting-apps-ipad)</li> <li>How to access your iCloud notes via the Web (http://www.imore.com/how-access-icloud-mail-contacts-calendars-and-more-web)</li> </ul></div> </div> <h2>How to setup Notes sync on iPhone and iPad</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-notes-iphone-and-ipad-ultimate-guide' title="How to use Notes on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/06/icloud_settings_panel_ipad_air_hero.jpg?itok=d2HNGDqk' />[/url]</p> <p>If you didn't originally set up Notes sync when you first setup iCloud, Google, or another IMAP service on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, or if you want to use a different iCloud account than you do for iTunes purchases, you can easily set it up or change it later. Once you have Notes sync set up, it's a great way to send text — including webpage links — from one device to another!</p> <p>Note: If you're setting up Gmail, you have to use the standard (IMAP) setup in order to sync notes. Google Sync (ActiveSync) doesn't support Notes. The same holds true for Microsoft Exchange (ActiveSync) accounts, including Outlook.com.</p> <ul><li>How to setup iCloud notes sync on iPhone and iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-set-icloud-mail-contacts-calendars-and-more-iphone-ipad)</li> <li>How to setup Google notes sync on your iPhone or iPad (http://www.imore.com/how-to-setup-gmail-google-calendar-contacts-iphone-ipad)</li> </ul><h2>How to create, edit, and delete Notes on iPhone and iPad</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-notes-iphone-and-ipad-ultimate-guide' title="How to use Notes on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2014/08/create_edit_delete_notes_iphone_5s_hero.jpg?itok=V8S8dCIJ' />[/url]</p> <p>The Notes app on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad lets you quickly write down your thoughts, draft out your memos, or store any text you want to keep around for any length of time. With it, you can easily create new notes, update or append existing notes, and delete old notes you no longer need.

It also makes it easy to share those notes, memos, thoughts, and other bits of text with your friends, family, and colleagues via AirDrop (http://www.imore.com/airdrop), Messages (http://www.imore.com/imessage), Mail (http://www.imore.com/mail-iphone-ipad), or even print it out and hand it to them with AirPrint (http://www.imore.com/airprint).</p> <p>Coming this fall with <a href="http://www.imore.com/ios-8" title="iOS 8 help, how-to, news, reviews">iOS 8[/url], you'll be able to use sharing and action extensions to do even more, like post to Pinterest and maybe even auto-translate with Bing.

Perhaps your iPhone is dead and you need to use a friend's laptop, or you're on holiday and don't have mobile data but there is an internet cafe or terminal close by. Either way, you can quickly and easily get to your iCloud notes, and many of the other iCloud services, from any web browser.</p> <ul><li>How to access your iCloud notes via the Web (http://www.imore.com/how-access-icloud-mail-contacts-calendars-and-more-web)</li> </ul><h2>Best notes apps for iPhone and iPad</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-notes-iphone-and-ipad-ultimate-guide' title="How to use Notes on iPhone and iPad: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/05/note_taking_apps_updated_hero.jpg?itok=_BcauDQt' />[/url]</p> <p>If you're looking for something more than Apple's built-in Notes app for iPhone and iPad, the App Store provides for a ton of alternative options.
