About sharing notes
You can add someone to any iCloud note or an entire folder of notes on your device. Then they can make edits and see the latest changes you’ve made. If you’re the owner of a note, you can remove others from your notes and folders whenever you want.
Notes Ios 13
As long as your device is connected to the Internet, iCloud keeps your notes and folders up to date everywhere, which means an iCloud note you have on your iPhone will also show up on your iPad. So when you check off an item on your to-do list, edit a sketch, or add an attachment, everyone sharing the note or folder will see the most recent version.
You can’t share password-protected notes. If you want to share a password-protected note, tap the note, tap the More button , then tap Remove and share the note.
Before you begin
- Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
- Set up iCloud on all of your devices.
- Make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
- Upgrade your notes so that you can use the latest features. Everyone that you share with needs to update their device and notes too. If you have drawings in any of your notes, make sure they've been updated so you can use the latest features.

- Tap the More button , then tap Share Note .

Manage how you share
As the creator of a shared note, you control access to who makes changes. From the shared note, tap the Add People button to see who you're sharing with. Then tap Share Options and select the option that you want, like 'Can make changes' or 'View only.'
If you see 'Invited' below a person's name, then they haven't accepted your invitation yet. Anyone on a shared note can add attachments, create checklists, sketch a drawing, and edit text. When someone is set as 'View only' they can't make any changes to the shared note.
When a shared note is updated, everyone on the note will receive a notification that an update was made. To hide these notifications, from the note, tap the Add People button and turn on Hide Alerts.

When you delete a note, it moves to your Recently Deleted folder on all your devices and stays in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days. The note is completely removed from the device of the people you share it with.
If you accidentally delete a note that someone else shared with you, you can accept the Notes file again from the original invitation. When you accept the note, it contains all the changes to that note up to that point in time. If the creator stopped sharing the note, you can't accept it. If you don't have the original invitation, ask the creator to share it again or check your Recently Deleted folder.
