How to Use Apple Notes to Get Instant Equation Results on iOS 18

How to Customize Math Results in Apple Notes

Tired of juggling between Apple Notes and Calculator? The math feature in iOS 18 lets you instantly solve equations with just a quick tweak.

If you’re like most people, the Apple Notes app on your iPhone is your go-to for jotting down ideas, to-do lists, and even the occasional math equation. It’s fast, convenient, and always just a tap away. But Notes can actually solve equations for you.

The new Math Results feature in the Notes app in iOS 18 transforms the way you handle equations while taking notes. Instead of relying on a separate calculator or switching between apps mid-task, Notes can now recognize, calculate, and display results directly in your document.

Math Notes seamlessly integrates math functionality, whether you’re a student solving quick problems, a professional crunching numbers during a meeting, or someone organizing expenses. It’s an efficient and convenient alternative to a dedicated calculator for everyday math problems.

How to Change the Math Result Options

Changing the math result options in the Notes app is quick and easy. This opens up a more convenient way to handle calculations directly in your notes. Instead of manually tapping the “=” sign, turn on Automatically Show Results in the Settings app.

  1. Open Apple Notes and either create a new note or open an existing one.
  2. Enter a math equation, such as 5+3. The setting for Math Results will only appear after you enter an equation.
  3. Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the toolbar to access additional options under Math Results.

The setting called “Suggest Results” means you need to press the space bar after the equation result appears to insert it into the note. The “Insert Results” option means the answer will be inserted automatically.

Changing the Math Results options in the Notes app is quick and easy

Math Results makes it easy to perform quick calculations without having to switch to a calculator. Enabling automatic math results in the Notes app turns it into an all-in-one tool for quick and easy calculations.

This helps you reduce unnecessary clicks and save time, making the app even more convenient for everyday use. Math Notes ensures that the Notes app stays at the forefront of helping you be more productive and organize your work, school, or personal projects.
