How to Change Font Style in Notes App on iPhone and iPad

Notes on the iPhone and iPad let you style your font with titles, headings, and lists, as well as format it with choices like bold and italic. You can also make quick changes with the Quick Styles motion.

Formatitles, headings, subheadings, and body text

1. Open the Notes app on your iPhone and either open a note you already have or make a new one.
2. Choose the text you want to change or move the cursor to the same line.
3. Tap the Paragraph Styles (Aa) button on the menu at the bottom, which is above your keyboard.
   • Pick either the title, the beginning, or the subheading. This style will only be used for the words on that line. When you hit Return, you’ll go back to the Body text that was there before.
   • You can choose Body or Monospaced for the body text. Also, just like on macOS, this style stays after you press Return and keep typing your note.
   • To make text bold, italic, underlined, or striked through, first select the text, then go to the Format window and choose one of these choices.
4. Use the X in the top right corner to close the Format window when you are done with it.

Format lists

1. To change writing that’s already there, select it. If not, you can just make a new list and add things to it as you go.
2. Tap the Paragraph Styles button on the toolbar. Choose the Bulleted, Dashed, or Numbered list button at the bottom left of the Format window.
3. Close the Format box by pressing the X button, and type your list items by pressing Return after each one.
4. Tap Return twice to end a list and stop the editing.

Change the font format with Quick Styles

Using Quick Styles is a less well-known way to change the way fonts look in Notes on your mobile device. You’ll still have options like titles, headings, body text, and lists, but they’ll be easier to use.

1. Choose the text that needs to be changed.
2. Then tap and hold the button for Paragraph Styles (Aa) in the toolbar.
3. Move your finger to the style you want, then let go.

Change the default font style for new notes

On iPhone and iPad, you can’t change the usual font size for new notes, but you can choose a different Paragraph Style, just like on Mac.

1. Open the Settings app, and then tap on Notes.
2. Go to the area called “Viewing” and click on “New Notes Start With.“
3. You can choose the title, opening, subheading, or body.
4. Tap the left-pointing button at the top to leave the settings menu and save your changes.

How to Change Font Style in Notes App on Mac

You can change the font for titles and headers, body text, and lists in Notes for Mac. You also have a few extras that let you arrange text exactly the way you want.

Format titles, headings, and subheadings

Depending on what works best for you, you can edit text that is already there or set up the style before you start typing.

1. If you already have the text, drag your cursor through it to pick it.
2. Click the Paragraph Style (Aa) button on the Notes menu and choose Title, Heading, or Subheading.
3. You could also click Format in the menu bar and choose one of the options there.
4. After you use one of these formats and press Return, the usual Body font will be used again unless you change it yourself.

Format body text and lists

1. In the main part of your note, you can choose Body or Monospaced for the font style. The style of your note stays the same after you press Return, unlike titles, headings, and subheadings, unless you change it.
2. You can also choose one of these styles to add a bulleted, dashed, or numbered list to your note. The Body style is the usual font for lists.
3. When you choose a list style, type the list item, and press Return, you’ll see another dot, dash, or number ready for your next item.
4. Press Return twice to end a list and stop the styling.

Change the default style and font size for new notes

San Francisco (SF) and New York (NY) are the styles that come with the Apple platform. You may find these fonts easy to read, which is what Apple wanted, but you may just like something else better.

As of this writing, Apple Notes doesn’t let you change the usual font style. But you can change the usual size and the style of the first paragraph in a new note.

1. On your Mac, open the Notes app.
2. From the menu bar, choose Notes > Settings.
3. If you want to change the preset style, which is currently Title, open the New notes start with drop-down box.
4. Heading, Subheading, or Body are your choices.
5. To change the size of the font, use the Default text size tool near the bottom.
6. When you’re done, close the Settings by clicking the X in the top left corner.

Change the font style and color in a single note

Even though you can’t change the style and color of the usual font, you can choose a different one for text in each note. This lets you use a certain font, color, or style for the whole note or just a part of it.

1. Choose the words you want to change the way it looks. Use the shortcut Command () + A to select all of the words in a note.
2. Then, right-click, go to the option menu, scroll down to Font, and do one of the following:
   • To change the style, shape, size, and color of the fonts, click Show Fonts. You’ll see the Fonts window, where you can pick from the different choices. Your font will be changed right away.
   • If you only want to change the color of the text, choose Show Colors.
   • You can choose the color you want to use by using the Color Wheel, Color Sliders, Color Palettes, Image Palettes, or Pencils. Again, your style will change right away.

The Notes app has been improved in the past, and with iOS 16 and later, it got another change. You can change the font to bold, italic, a heading, or a title by using the quick styles action. Notes on the iPhone have always let you change the text, but now you can do it faster than ever.
