On iOS 15 Apple has added a new feature that allows users to mention someone in a shared note on iPhone or iPad’s Notes app
The new Mentions feature makes it easier for iOS users to collaborate more easily in a shared note, as they can now mention people inside a note to bring a particular section of the note to their attention.
You can also use the mentions feature to notify the person a note is shared with of important updates to the note and link them back to the note.
Mention people in share notes
Below are the few steps in mentioning someone in a shared note
- First of all share a note with another iOS, iPadOS or macOS user by opening the note.
- After opening the note tap on the share note option and choose how you would like to send the invitation.
- Once the other user has received and accepted your invitation to collaborate on a note you can start mentioning them.
- In order to mention your friend in the note simply put the typing cursor where you want to mention them and type ‘@’ followed by their name. iOS will suggest the other user’s name right above the keyboard
- Now that you have mentioned the other user they will receive a notification about the mention and will be able to see the latest changes you have made to the note.
Once this is done, you have successfully mentioned another user in a shared note on device running iOS 1, macOS Moneterey.
