Notes app in watchOS 26 offers two essential features
Apple Notes was once a very basic iPhone app with minimal features. Over the last few years especially, though, it’s grown into a note-taking powerhouse.
The Notes app currently exists across nearly every Apple platform. You’ll find it on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.
But perhaps most significantly, there’s been no Notes app for Apple Watch.
That’s finally changed in watchOS 26.
watchOS 26 includes a new Apple Notes app that lets you do two basic, but important things on your wrist:
- create new notes to quickly save a thought
- and view existing notes
You won’t find the same full array of features available on Apple’s other platforms, but what’s included is exactly what you would want on the wrist.
Additionally, the existence of the Notes app now enables Siri to create new notes on your Apple Watch.
This will likely prove an especially common use case for the app, since when you’re on the go and need to capture a thought, you can ask Siri to take care of it without even launching Notes.
