Apple Notes on iOS 18 has a handy new feature that lets you solve equations directly within the app—no need for a separate calculator.
This math result feature transforms how you handle equations during note-taking, making it easier and more efficient for everyday tasks.
To enable automatic math results in Notes, follow these steps:
- Open Apple Notes and create a new note or open an existing one.
- Type a math equation, such as 5+3. (The math result option will appear after entering an equation.)
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the toolbar and go to the Math Results settings.
- You can choose between two options:
- Suggest Results: After the equation, hit the space bar to insert the result manually.
- Insert Results: The answer will automatically appear in your note.
This feature makes it quick to perform simple calculations without leaving Notes, perfect for students, professionals, or anyone needing a fast solution while jotting down notes or organizing tasks. It’s a great way to boost productivity and streamline everyday calculations.
