What does pinning a note do in Apple Notes?<\/h2>\n

Pinning is a great way to improve the accessibility of your frequently needed notes in Apple Notes. When you pin a note, it moves to the Pinned section at the top of your notes list in the app. As a result, every time you open the app, you can access it directly without needing to find it.<\/p>\n

Similar to other notes, pinned notes are visible across all your Apple devices. This means a note you pin on your iPhone will appear under the Pinned section on your iPad and Mac, too.<\/p>\n
