What squiggly line?


In the default Apple Notes App, you either tap the (+) and select Add Sketch, or tap on the little pencil in a circle.

See here: Use Notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Note that both of these require that the note be created in either iCloud or the On My iPad folders.


Other providers such as Gmail, or Hotmail, do not support the drawings.
