Benjamin Levicek The Notes app is the easiest way to quickly jot something down on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Everything is reliably synchronized between your devices, so you can start working on your iPhone and continue, for example, on your Mac. However, in addition to simple typing, it offers a lot of great features that can come in handy at work. We will look at them in today's article.

Lock notes
Notes offers a very useful feature to ensure that no one else gets access to your data. If you want to set up a note lock, first go to the native app Settings, select an option here Notes and a bit below, tap the icon Password. Choose a password that you will remember well, you can also assign a hint to it. If you want, activate switch Use Touch ID/Face ID. Finally tap on All done. You then simply lock the note by opening it, tapping the icon Share and select an option Lock note. All you have to do is confirm with your fingerprint, face or password.

Document scanning
Quite often, it may happen that you need to convert text on paper into digital form. Notes includes a handy tool to do this. Just open the note to which you want to add the document, select the icon Camera and tap on the option here Scan documents. Once you place the document in the frame, that's it take a picture. After scanning, tap on Save the scan and then on Impose.

Text style and formatting settings
It's very easy to style text in Notes. Just select the text you want to distinguish from the rest, tap on Text styles and select from the heading, subheading, text or fixed width options. Of course, you can also format the text in the notes. Mark the text and select the menu again Text styles. Here you can use bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, dashed list, numbered list, bulleted list, or indent or indent the text.
Access notes from the lock screen
You can easily open notes from the control center even when your screen is locked. Just go to Settings, open the section Notes and select the icon Access from the lock screen. Here you have three options to choose from: Off, Always create a new note, and Open last note. Once set up, you can easily and quickly use notes on the lock screen by swiping to the control center - but you need to add the notes icon in Settings -> Control Center -> Customize Controls.
Adding photos and videos
You can add photos and videos to notes either from your photo library or create them directly. In both cases, just open the note, select the icon Camera and choose an option here Photo library or Take a photo/video. You just classically select the photos you want to use from the photo library, for the second option, just tap on the option after taking it Use photo/video. If you want your media to be automatically saved to your photo library, go to Settings, click on Notes a activate switch Save to photos. All photos and videos you take in Notes will be saved to your Photos app.

I don't want to disillusion you, but if you write that it is very easy to create text styles in Notes, then you should elaborate a little more. As I see it, at least on the iPhone, absolutely no text styles can be created, I can only choose from a few that have already been created. Either you know something that I don't, or you're completely out of your mind and don't know what you're talking about. And if you didn't know what creating text styles (fonts) is, I would recommend a course on, for example, MS Word.
Another strange thing is the scanning - as you write "to convert text on paper into digital form". What do you mean by this? The vast majority of people certainly think that by converting the text into digital form they will be able to work with it somehow. Have you tried that? Didn't he try? Well, I'm just writing about it, so if you even understand what you're writing. You don't tell your friends in a pub over a beer, but you play editor and write an article about it - that's already a bit of a commitment in a way.
Think about it a little.
Note:
There's more to write about that scan, but that's not my job. At the very least, I will mention that it is possible to search for "scanned" documents stored in Notes according to their content. It's not quite perfect, but it's searchable, for example, by the text in the title, the text in the content is already a bit problematic, but it's still useful.
Good day. Thank you very much for your comments on the article.
Regarding the text styles, you are right, you can set them from a few predefined ones, of course, there are far more in Word or other text editors. But in the article, all the styles that Notes offers are listed. I think it shows which styles you can and cannot add.
I also work with document scanning quite often, but in my opinion that is a topic for a separate article.
It's not about how many styles you can set, but whether you can create them. You still don't get it? For example, open Word and try to create some styles there. Do not apply them to the created text, but only create the styles. This is what happens when inexperienced children write about a world they don't know yet, without offense. If you had, for example, a diploma, you would immediately know what it was about. For now, put up with the fact that you CANNOT create any styles in Notes, and educate yourself a bit and find out what it even means to create styles in the editor.
Understood and thanks for the criticism. Although I did not write the diploma, I work with editors quite often and use advanced functions, including creating styles. Thanks again for the heads up.
I sense a bit of condescension from the "Guest". Is it necessary?
Hello, I am a beginner and I would like to ask if it is possible to use colored fonts in notes. I couldn't find anywhere, only italics or bold. Thank you
