Question about notes password protection

Why would someone else have access to your iCloud account? That's the bigger problem.

 

You can create folders and notes in the Notes app and stipulate that those items only be kept on your iPhone and not in iCloud.

Notes on your devices
When you make changes using Notes on iCloud.com, they appear automatically in Notes on your iOS devices and Mac computers that are signed in to the same iCloud account, and vice versa. You can also view your up-to-date iCloud notes in Microsoft Outlook on your Windows computer set up for iCloud.

However, if you upgrade your iCloud account in the Notes app on a device with iOS 9 or later or OS X v10.11 or later:

• Your notes on those devices and on iCloud.com aren’t kept up to date with notes on any of your devices with iOS 8.4.1 or earlier, OS X v10.10.5 or earlier, or Windows.
  
  
• Your notes are no longer stored in your icloud email account.

 

Or he can use Evernote or Google Keep.

 

Good point. There are tons of good note apps out there; Evernote, Notability, Documents (by Readdle), not to mention the many file manager apps that can create and store notes.

 

Unsure why people who have no idea what the answer is are bothering to respond and even ask about motives.

The answer is that a locked note cannot be viewed in other devices without entering password. You will see the title (i.e. First line), but that's it. Make sure you don't select Touch ID because a valid Touch ID (on either device) will also unlock the note.

I just tested this on my sons SE by locking a note on my 6s plus.

 

Why don't you just test it?

I did it now with logging in to icloud.com and had to enter the password.

 

What the heck is this about? LOL

 

edit it yourself. I cannot.

How did you get that demigoddess title?

 

I mean just edit your post with a quote from something that isn't even in the thread. Or just leave it there it's nothing really private or bad in it... But hasn't anything to do with the topic.

That's a secret how I got the title.

 

If you donate $25 annually to macrumors you can pick demigod/demigoddess as your title.

OP: Unlocking a note on one device does not unlock it on all devices.

 

What If I want BattleMaster WarLord Armen Hammer as a title?

 

Hahaha unfortunately not. Only the above two I believe.
