Simply go to your keyboard, tap on the camera icon, then add a photo or video from your library (or take one from inside the app). iOS 9 will compress large photos and videos, so that they don't take up too much space.

7. You Can Draw Sketches Directly in NotesInstead of using photos, you can now draw directly in the Notes app to capture any ideas or thoughts you have. Inside the drawing editor, you'll have different tools, such as a marker, pen, pencil, eraser, and even a ruler.

At the top of the page, you can tap on "Undo" and "Redo" in case you make mistakes when drawing.

When you go to your notes, you'll see the links in nicely organized boxes, along with a title, short description, and a thumbnail (if available). From there, you can launch the link directly in Safari.

9. You Can Place Maps in Your NotesSimilar to placing links, you can also use the share sheet to embed a specific location or directions from Apple Maps. In Maps, tap the share button, choose the note you want to add to (or create a new one), then hit "Save." Open the link from your note, and you'll be redirected to Maps.

10.
