Folders create easy dividing lines between different types of notes. There are two main ways of organizing things in Apple Notes: folders and tags. You’ll have an “Imported Notes” folder you can now rename. Tap “Import Notes” to complete the operation. Tap on the file to open it followed by Share > Notes.

There’s no native version of Apple Notes for these devices, so you’re stuck using the web version instead (which is usable, but a far cry from a native app). This is worth considering if you need a note-taking solution for platforms like Windows or Android. You can only sync via iCloud, and keeping your Apple gadgets up to date with the latest version of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS is integral to keeping Notes working as it should.Īpple Notes is also a very Apple-centric platform.
