Maybe you use the Notes app to write out your grocery lists or to make a packing list for your next trip. Whatever the case may be, there may come a time when you want to share those notes with someone else. Whether it’s because you need help remembering something or because you want someone to access them from their own phone, here’s how to share notes on iPhone!
How To Share iPhone Notes: Step-By-Step
In this section, I’ll discuss how you can share iPhone notes quickly and easily. Whether you want to share a single note or an entire folder of notes, I’ll show you how to do it!
Sending iPhone Notes To iPhone Or Android
This method can be used to share a single note to either an iPhone or an Android user. In fact, it works very similarly to how an Android device shares notes with an iPhone or iPad. However, since there’s a more sophisticated way to share notes with iPhone users, this method is typically used only for note-sharing with an Android phone or a way to have a backup of your iPhone notes, just in case you accidentally delete them and don’t know how to bring them back. Pro tip: you can use special software to recover even permanently deleted notes on your iPhone. That said, one thing to keep in mind is that this method can only share the contents of the note, not the note file itself. So, if you decide to send the note via Message, it will send a text message containing the contents of the note. If you send the note via Drive, it will create a .txt file with the contents of the note. That’s because Note files can only be shared from one Apple device to another. With that out of the way, here are the steps:
Sharing A Single Note With Other iPhone Users
If you want to share notes with other iPhone users, the process is a little different. Rather than using the Send option within the Notes app, you’ll need to enable iCloud to use Share. Plus, doing this allows you to create an iCloud Note, which is a type of Note that automatically syncs across your Apple devices with iCloud enabled. Here’s how to share notes with other iPhone users. Here’s a video showing how it’s done:
Sharing An Entire Notes Folder
This method can be used to share a whole folder of notes. If you have a bunch of notes on your iPhone or iPad that you want someone else to see, this is a very convenient way to do it. Here’s how to do it.
Once the other user clicks on your message, they can now see your folder of notes.
Managing A Shared Note
If you’ve shared a note or folder with someone, you can always go back and manage that shared note. This is especially useful if you no longer want to share note or if you want to give the person editing rights.
Sharing Notes On iPhone: In Conclusion
Sharing notes is a great way to collaborate with others or just to make sure that you have a backup of your notes. Regardless if you would like to share an entire folder or just a single note, the process is relatively simple. Just use the Send and Share options within the Notes app and you’re done!
