Change notes on iPhone easily with this simple trick!

Have you ever had to switch between your recent notes in the Notes app to check important details? iOS 18 adds a new feature that simplifies this process, allowing you to access recent notes with just a few taps.

How to open a recent note from within the current note

The Notes app on iPhone is a great alternative to Google Keep . It has some useful features, like scanning documents on iPhone and creating checklists. However, in the past, if you wanted to open a recently created note in the Notes app, you had to exit the current note, go back to the notes list, and scroll or search for it manually.

If you frequently switch between notes to reference important details, this can be time-consuming. Thankfully, with iOS 18, the Notes app has received an update that lets you see recent notes without leaving the current note. Here's what you need to do:

1. Open any note in the Notes app
2. Select the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
3. Select Recent Notes from the options in the drop-down menu.

Now, a list of your most recent notes will appear. Clicking on any of these notes will allow you to jump to that note immediately.

Steps to delete note history

Whether for privacy reasons or to prevent irrelevant notes from showing up, you can clear the Recent Notes list when using the Notes app on your iPhone. Here's what you need to do:

1. Open any note in the Notes app.
2. Select the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
3. Tap Clear menu below your list of recent notes.

This will clear the notes list, but any notes you add or open will reappear in the Recent Notes menu .

While not a groundbreaking feature, it has become increasingly popular lately. It’s easy to access, saves time, and makes switching between notes easier. Give it a try! You might find it more useful than you initially thought.
