Keep the actions you use most on the note toolbar, and move the rest out of the way. Everyone can customize the toolbar, with or without Plus.

​
On iPhone and iPad

  1. Open a note and tap More (the three dots).
  2. Tap Customize Toolbar… at the end of the menu.
  3. Turn each action on or off. On iPhone with iOS 26, choose Bottom, Top or Off for Tags and Note Details. Restore Default puts back the toolbar Cleft started with.
On iPhone with iOS 26, the toolbar starts with the actions you reach for most under your thumb: Play, Share, Copy, Send, Continue and Edit. Tags and Note Details sit at the top of the note, beside Back. If you never changed your toolbar, it moves to this layout. A toolbar you changed stays as you left it. You can also touch and hold Play, Share, Continue or any action you added, then tap Remove from Toolbar. VoiceOver users find Remove from Toolbar in the Actions rotor, and VoiceOver says where each action went. Your choice follows you to your other devices of the same kind through iCloud. A toolbar you set up on one iPhone appears on your other iPhones, while each iPad keeps its own. On iPhone, Continue always sits beside Edit, on the side your thumb reaches first. Choose Left hand in Settings > General > Handedness and both move to the left.

​
On Mac

Control-click the note toolbar and choose Customize Toolbar…, then drag actions on or off the toolbar.

​
Nothing gets lost

More, Edit (or Done while you edit) and the Notes and Transcript switch always stay on the toolbar. Anything you take off the toolbar is still one tap away. Open More and look under Toolbar: Play, Tags, Copy, Send and Continue are listed there whenever they are not on the toolbar. Copy and Send open their usual menus from there. On iPhone, Share is not listed there: when Share is off the toolbar, Send lists the share sheet, and when Copy is off, Send lists the copy formats. Archive, Duplicate, Rewrite, Save Audio and Details keep their own places in More.
