Apple Adds 4 Notes Features in iOS 27, Bringing Siri AI and Markdown Tools

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Jun 17

Summary

  • Four new Notes features are coming in iOS 27, including Siri AI note creation, Markdown copy-and-paste, divider lines and links to specific sections within a note.
  • iPhone 15 Pro and newer models get the biggest change: Siri AI can generate note content from web-fetched information and surface an "Add to Notes" shortcut in Messages based on conversation context.
  • Markdown support now works both ways inside Notes, letting users paste Markdown-formatted text as rich text and convert formatted selections with a new "Copy as Markdown" option.
  • Divider lines and section links expand note organization, while the update is already in developer beta, with a public beta due in July and a wider release expected in September.
