How To Draw A Iphone 7 Step By Step

The Notes app on your iPhone has some additional functionality beyond the ability to store plain text. You can create checklists, save pictures and videos, and you can also draw. But if you have not used any of these additional multimedia tools in the iPhone Notes app, then you might be having trouble figuring out how to do so.

Our tutorial below will show you how to create a new note and draw in it. You will be able to select between several different brush options and ink colors, allowing you a bit of customization over the appearance of your note drawing.

Drawing in Notes in iOS 10

These steps were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus, in iOS 10. Other iPhone models running iOS 10 will also be able to draw in their notes, as well as iPhones running iOS 9. You are only able to draw in notes that are saved to your iCloud account, or that are saved to your iPhone. You can not draw in notes that are saved to third party email accounts.

Step 1: Open the Notes app.
