On your iPhone, you don’t need to go through several screens and taps to take a note. For situations where you have no more than a few seconds before the note escapes your mind, you can create a new note with just one touch. Here are the quickest ways to jot down something on an iPhone when you’re in a hurry.
Use the Control Center’s Quick Note option
Use the Control Center’s Quick Note option
One of the quickest methods to take a note on an iPhone is from the Control Center. Apple’s default Notes app offers a tool called “Quick Note,” which lets you add a shortcut to open a blank note in the Control Centre.
Ask Siri to take a note

In the previous method, you still need to pick up your phone, perform a swipe-down action, and tap a button to just enter a blank note. With your iPhone’s virtual assistant, Siri, you can skip all that and begin dictating your note’s content without ever touching your phone. Siri supports a wide range of commands for editing and creating new notes. You can also ask it to read your existing notes aloud. Plus, it’s not limited to Apple’s Notes app. Most major note-taking services, such as Evernote, are compatible with Siri. To create a new note on the Notes app with your voice:
Dictate a note with a tap on your iPhone’s back
Dictate a note with a tap on your iPhone’s back
If you don’t want to fuss around with Siri or find it inaccurate, you can create a shortcut that allows you to begin dictating a note as soon as you double- or three-tap your iPhone’s back cover.
Create a new note with a lockscreen widget
Create a new note with a lockscreen widget
Another way you can quickly take notes on your iPhone is with a lockscreen widget. Unfortunately, many notes apps, including Apple’s own, don’t currently offer a direct widget to create a new note. You will have to turn to third-party alternatives like MemoWidget (opens in new tab). After you’ve downloaded MemoWidget, you can go to the lockscreen, and long-press on it to pull up the personalization controls. Tap Customise, select Lock Screen, touch the space underneath the clock, and add MemoWidget’s New Memo widget. Now you’ll be able to create notes directly from the widget on your lockscreen.
