Apple Notes adds a power user feature in iOS 27 that’s rare in other apps

Apple Notes in iOS 27 introduces a new feature for power users: section links. This addition joins a lineup of third-party notes apps available on the App Store, ranging from simple note-takers to advanced productivity suites. Apple Notes is renowned for its minimalist, user-friendly interface, and now it adds another tool for power users in iOS 27.

When selecting text in a note and opening the edit menu, tapping 'Add Link' reveals an option for 'Link to Section.' This feature provides a list of all headings and subheadings within the note, allowing users to create links to specific sections. Users can choose to use the section title or create their own custom link text. Section links are particularly useful for navigating lengthy notes, enabling quick jumps to desired areas.

They can be used to create comprehensive tables of contents or applied selectively to frequently revisited sections. While most iPhone users may not utilize this feature, it is a valuable addition for power users who appreciate increased flexibility in their notes app.
