1. What are "Notes" with a password on iPhone?
The “Notes” app is one of the most popular apps for iPhone and iPad users. They use it a lot for marking things like calendar, to-do list, passwords etc. However, there is some private information that they want to lock down..
Apple has added a new feature that allows you to use a password to protect private "Notes". After the release of iOS 9.3, you can lock them on your "Notes" application with a password or your Touch ID. The same password is used for all locked “Notes”, but you must choose for yourself which files you want to limit access. You can also remove the password at any time.
