iOS 18 Notes App: All the New Features: Google Must do Better
I only have an iPad left now from the Apple ecosystem, but after testing some of these features out, I must say that Google really needs to just try and catch up with their Notes app. Apple is definitely out-innovating Google here by a mile. Google has really neglected their Notes app quite badly.
Some of the new features I like most with the iOS Notes app are:
* Notes integrates with the Calculator app in iOS 18 for a new feature called Maths Notes. Maths Notes is designed to let you solve equations, so you can do things like add up your monthly budget, calculate what people owe for a group trip, or split a restaurant bill.
* Maths Notes with the Apple Pencil. Just write out equations by hand.
* All audio recordings that you capture with the Notes app are automatically transcribed in real-time.
* Transcription Summaries.
* If you have long notes with multiple headings, you can now collapse those headings.
* Highlight Colours (Google did release this, but it has not become usable across all my notes yet).
* Smart Script — The feature uses machine learning to recreate your own handwriting style to refine what you've written, making messy writing look neater.
