Did you find a web page you want to save for later? You can easily share it to the Notes app so that you can return to it again. Or if you find an article relevant to a project you are working on, you can share it with one of your notes, add text, and open your note anytime to find the link. Let’s explore how this is done.

  • Save articles to read at a later date.
  • Easily keep your thoughts about an important website in one place.
  • Keep related web pages together in one note when planning projects.

This tip works on iPhones running iOS 16 or later. The screenshots are from iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.
