This short video complements shows 1341 and 1343, Lee's deep dive into Apple Notes. There are a few commands you can use with Siri to create, find, and read your notes, and Lee shows you how this is done here. There is also one feature that has been unavailable since iOS 16 and that's the ability to append to a note. There is a simple workaround using Shortcuts however, and you learn about it in this video.

This was SO helpful! Could you please link me to the tutorial video that you mention at the end? I'd like to create a Shortcut that will allow me to use Siri to (1) create my text and then (2) PICK the existing note to which I would like to add it. Thanks ever so much!
Hey Tressa,
Thanks for that! So you can do this - kind of. You need three key actions in your new shortcut
1) Dictate Text
2) Find Notes (you can put in a filter here if you wish so that it returns a certain number of notes for you to choose from)
3) Append to Note (obviously need to change the variable NOTES to DICTATED TEXT
That's a good basis and you can play with it, build it out to customise more for you.
