Apple aficionados have long been acquainted with the Notes app, a staple of iOS devices. Over time, Cupertino has infused it with various functionalities, such as the capability to embed tables and photos, as reported by Sam Mobile.
However, when compared to its counterpart on Galaxy smartphones and tablets, Apple's Notes app seemed to lag in features. Samsung's Notes app has been a powerhouse, offering a plethora of functionalities beyond basic note-taking.
Now, it seems Apple is turning the tables by borrowing a feature from Samsung's playbook. According to reports from Apple Insider, the upcoming iOS 18 will introduce a feature allowing users to record audio directly within a note. This feature, long available in Samsung Notes on Android, enables users to add more context to their notes by attaching audio files or voice recordings seamlessly.
The interface for recording audio within the Notes app is said to resemble that of Apple's Voice Memo app, ensuring a familiar and intuitive experience for users. But the innovations don't stop there. Rumors suggest that iOS 18 will also introduce "Math Notes," a feature that promises to enhance mathematical notations within the app.
As Apple continues to refine its ecosystem of apps and services, it's clear that they're not shy about taking inspiration from competitors. With iOS 18 poised to elevate the Notes app to new heights, users can anticipate a more robust and versatile tool for capturing thoughts, ideas, and now, even audio recordings and mathematical equations.
