How do I enable Notes app in Control Center on iPhone 14 Pro?

I am Googled out on this..... so far no one has explained or shown a solution. I do not have the option to have Quick notes on my control center! Phone IOS 18.3.1 : Controls Gallery/Control Center missing Notes? Does anyone know why Quick Note and Notes do NO show as options in the + Add a Control list?

You have Require Face ID to open Notes enabled for Notes. Disable it and all access to Notes in control center and Lock Screen, widgets, etc. becomes available.

Disable Screen Time:

Is Notes not seen on your Home Screen nor your Library? If so, Screen Time is set up and enabled, and you may have disallowed access to this app.

  1. Go Here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "To change or turn off the passcode on your child's device, go to Settings > Screen Time and tap your child's name. Then tap Change Screen Time Passcode or Turn Off Screen Time Passcode, and authenticate the change with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode."

What does your answer have to do with the issue the author asked about? They can't seem to be able to add Quick Notes to their Control Center. Did you actually read the question?


They aren't NOT seeing notes. They don't seem to be able to add Quick Notes to Control Center and your answer seems to have nothing at all to do with the question.

Open Control Center by swiping down from the top right hand side of your screen.


See the + at the top Left corner of Control Center and tap it and tap Add a Control at the bottom of the page


Look for Quick Note, which has an icon of a computer screen with a squiggle in it and tap it to add it to Control Center.


A final note: Open Settings App and scan all the way down to and tap Apps. Find and tap Notes. Tap Access Notes From Lock Screen under the heading Lock Screen & Control Center and make sure something other than Off is checked.
