Apple has packed a lot into iOS 18, not just the mobile operating system but also all the apps that run on top of it—and one of the most useful upgrades is in the Notes app. You can now record voice memos right inside Notes, and even have the text transcribed while you talk.
There are all kinds of scenarios where you might find this useful, from lectures to interviews to your own personal thoughts and musings. You can listen to the voice notes and review the text any time you like, and export the text elsewhere too (if you need to share notes from a meeting, for example).
Note that the Voice Memos app includes transcription features with iOS 18—so you can use that as an alternative to Notes.
Recording voice notes
Tap the paperclip icon to find the option to record (and transcribe) audio. Screenshot: Apple
With a note open on your iPhone, tap the paperclip icon on the toolbar underneath the note, then choose Record Audio. You get a new recording interface up on screen: Use the large red button to start recording, then tap it again to pause and resume recording. You can record several segments in the same audio file, if needed.
The playback controls on the recording screen are all straightforward: You can listen to what you’ve already recorded via the play button, and use the jump buttons on either side to go forwards or backwards in the audio in increments of 15 seconds. Note you can’t resume a recording unless you’re at the end of it.
