Use Siri to jot down your thoughts in the Notes app

Siri lets you take notes, even from across the room or in the car.

Every wanted to jot down a thought in the Notes app, but your hands are busy? Relax, Siri has got you covered.

In iOS 15, you can use Siri to take notes and even quickly search your notes, so you can always jot down your important thoughts. Here's how to take notes with Siri on iPhone and iPad.

How to dictate a note to Siri on iPhone and iPad

  1. Press and hold the Home button, **Side Button*, or say "Hey, Siri" to launch Siri.
  2. Say "Take a note."
  3. Dictate your note to Siri.

Once you're done talking, Siri will automatically save what you dictated to the Notes app. Dictating notes to Siri may not be perfect in its current form, but it can often be much quicker than typing them out.
