How to protect your annotations with the new application notes of iOS 9.3

Apple launched yesterday iOS 9.3, the latest version of the operating system for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Among the many interesting news that includes this new version, a is the Application Notes improved. From now on we can protect our annotations with password, which will also allow us to lock/unlock them with the Touch ID on devices that have fingerprint sensor. Protect the notes in iOS 9.3 is not a complicated process, but there is the possibility that some user does not know very well how to do so. Here I teach you everything you need to know to password-protect your notes in the native application from Apple.

How to protect the notes of iOS 9 with password

• The first thing we have to do is open the settings and access the Notes section.

• Once inside the Notes section, enter Password.

• As you can see in the above screenshot, in this section we can activate the Touch ID and add a password. The password that you add can be either; it is totally independent of the Apple ID.

Once you have added the password, we must protect the notes we want, for which we are to the Notes application.

• We walked to the note that we want to protect.

• We played in the Share button ().

• As you can see in the screenshot, appears the option of locking the note. We played in it.

• Finally, we have to enter the password you set up in step 3. We will see an animation and will already be

• Also protected a padlock will appear at the top. When is open, shall not be protected. When closed, no one will be able to see it without putting the password or our footprint.

Important: In order to access the notes that we have protected with password we must do so with the latest versions of Apple operating systems. If we have an iPhone with iOS 9.3, we protect a password and then we want to display it in, for example, an iPad with jailbreak, we will not be able to open it, because the last jailbreak available was launched for iOS 9.1. The same with OS X: we will have to have OS X 10.11.4 installed in our Mac in order to view the notes.

Explained what above, I have to comment on something that I do not have liked this system: it is not that I look bad, but I believe that they have a lack, and that is that it should not be possible to edit or delete a note blocked, or at least should have an option to do this. In any case, be able to password-protect your notes is an interesting novelty that is lacking in other applications. Do you already have you tested?
