Can you tell when a collaborator shares your note with someone else?

I have two shared notes with someone. One of them has two face icons next to it, does that mean that the person I shared it with also shared it with someone else?


Is there any way to know if your note was shared by the person who you originally shared it with?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi Need_help_with_,


The icon that you're referring to generally means that the note is shared. If the settings show that correct people are sharing the note, then this is the correct setup.

It sounds like you see the two icons on the notes when you looking in the top level of the Shared folder. To ensure that sharing is correct,


  1. Tap on the notes and go to the at the top of the note.
  2. Choose Manage Shared Note
  3. Tap on Stop Sharing


Share the note again.


If this continues, contact Apple Support to check into this further.

Hey Need_help_with_,


That's a great question! You're able to see who the note is currently being shared with by looking at the sharing settings:


Change sharing settings
• Manage a shared note: Tap the Collaborate button, then tap Manage Shared Note.
• Manage a shared folder: Tap the Folder Actions button, then tap Manage Shared Folder.
• Remove people: Tap the collaborator you want to remove, then tap Remove Access.
• Change access and permission settings: To change the settings for all collaborators, tap Share Options. To change the settings for an individual collaborator, tap their name.
• Stop sharing: When you choose this option, the shared note or folder is deleted from the devices of the other participants.
