Attach photos, links, and more
You can attach photos, videos, audio files, and other items to your notes. If you’re using upgraded iCloud notes, or your notes are stored on your Mac, you can also attach map locations and website previews. (If you haven’t upgraded your iCloud notes or are using an account other than iCloud, you may not be able to attach map locations.)
If your notes are in an Exchange account, you can’t attach any files, map locations, or website previews.
You can’t lock a note after attaching a video, audio file, PDF, or document to it. (Only tables, images, sketches, inline drawings, scanned documents, maps, or web attachments can be included in a locked note.)
