Notes created on your iPhone can now be moved to your iCloud account if you need to free up space. Here's how:
In the Notes app there are two main sections listed in the Folders section: iCloud and On My iPhone. You can move notes stored in the On My iPhone section to iCloud by tapping the Notes panel listed under the On My iPhone section. This will allow you to see all the notes stored directly on your device.
iOS 9.3 allows you to use the Notes app to make checklists or to do lists. Here's how:
Notes from the stock iOS Notes app can be synced, backed up and viewed on a computer. If you take notes with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, these are included in the default iTunes and iCloud backups. To view and edit notes on your computer, you must sync Notes with iTunes.
From the iTunes Info tab, select the checkbox next to Other -> Sync notes.
After you sync or backup the iOS device, your notes will appear in the OS X Mail app or in Outlook on a Windows machine.
