Naming new notes in iOS 18

Try as I might I can create no structure when adding new notes or Attempting to organise older notes. There is no option that allows me to add a meaningful title when first adding a note nor is there any way to add one later when trying to allocate to various folders. I now just have a long list of untitled notes albeit in date order but totally unhelpful when trying to find a particular note more than a few days old. Surely this is not the only option? This is rendering the whole Notes app useless.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Like muguy mentioned, the first line becomes your note title. The problem if you have a lot of notes (like I do) is to keep the folders organized. What I started to do is number the notes in order of personal priority inside each folder. It's not perfect, but it helps.


For example in my "Photography" folder these are simply the first three of many notes:

1) List of gear for insurance company

2) My tips for teaching night sky photography

3) My tips for teaching infrared photography


You can also number your folders that way as well to keep those in any preferred order.
