Did you know that since iOS 14.5 and macOS Big Sur 11.3 it's possible to add tags to your notes?

This is a great way to quickly filter and access notes that may be stored in different folders.

Anywhere in a note, just type the hashtag symbol followed by a word, for instance “#important”

After typing the space, the tags will become yellow.

If you have at least one device still running a version of iOS or macOS incompatible with tags, you'll see a popup message with the device names.

It will even tell you if the device can be upgraded or not, like my 2011 MacBook Air stuck at macOS 10.13 High Sierra:

Once you've started using tags, you'll see the list at the bottom of the Folder view of the Notes app (if you have a lot of folders, you may need to collapse the iCloud section).

Tapping on a tag will show you a filtered list of notes containing that tag.

It's even possible to filter on more than 1 tag at a time

And you, how many tags have you created in Notes on your iPhone?
