If you're an iPhone user, it's highly likely that you've been taking notes on your phone from the very beginning.
The Notes app is a pretty basic tool, but it does everything you'd possibly need from a notepad app.
If you are an experienced user of the iPhone, you may notice that the actual layout of the notes page itself remains unchanged since its beginning.
By default, the note has a single line for notes separated by dashes. You can tap on it to open up the full page where you will have room to write multiple lines of text.
If you are taking many notes, whether they are being used as reminders or not, you may find that scrolling through them all is tedious.
As the screenshot shows, this is an older version of iOS and looks quite different from what you would see today.
