Explore The Upgrades in Apple Notes
Contrary to preconceptions, the recent Apple Notes update in iOS 18 is available even if you haven’t updated to the latest iPhone model. Most notably, if you’re among the zealous note-takers like me, you’re in for a treat.
A Fresh Look At Note-Taking
Despite not owning an iPhone 18, the updated Notes app has brought a realm of new features to my older model. Predominantly, it has enhanced my note-taking addiction and obsession with organization. The disappointment of missing out on the new Apple Intelligence features spurred my curiosity. To my surprise, I stumbled upon the array of updated features available in the Notes app.
Noteworthy Features
The newly enhanced note-taking app has introduced some noteworthy features. Users can now include audio recordings with live transcriptions, use new formatting features, and more. However, it’s worth noting that access to features like new Writing Tools are still exclusive to the latest models.
Highlighting Text
Functionality-wise, being able to highlight text is an asset. You can add color to your notes with just a few taps. Every bullet creates a fresh bout of motivation and the dictation feature ensures smooth sailing. The only quirk is that the highlighted color also alters the text color.
Collapsible Sections
Organizational capabilities take another leap with collapsible sections. Highlight a particular line as a ‘Heading’. A carat appears by the heading, which you can tap to open or close the section. It creates a comprehensive and streamlined note, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Audio Recordings and Transcriptions
Without a doubt, the recording functions have to be the best aspect of the Notes update. You can now capture and automatically transcribe audio. You can even record phone calls and store them in your notes. As a journalist, the functionality to record and transcribe a conversation easily is incredibly valuable.
Enjoy the Amalgamation of Features
Though access to Apple Intelligence features remains a desire, these new elements almost make up for it. They bring a fresh zest to note-taking, ensuring that people like me stay engrossed in our note-taking adventures.
