# Writing your own notes on iOS

> Take meeting notes on Granola for iOS. Your notes guide AI enhancement. Tips for effective note-taking on mobile.

You can write your own notes in Granola as your conversation is happening, to help guide how the AI-enhanced notes will be generated.

## Accessing the note editor

When you start a new meeting or notes on iOS, a note in progress card will appear at the bottom of your screen. Simply swipe up to access the note editor during transcription, and you can add your own context and thoughts during the meeting, which Granola will use as context when generating enhanced notes.

## Why add your own notes?

1. **Highlight** big moments or decisions.
2. **Headers** help Granola structure the final "enhanced" notes.
3. **Bullets** help Granola capture key important details that matter to you

## Formatting tips

* **Headers**: Use `###` to create a header (these will usually be carried through to your enhanced notes)
* **Bullet points**: Use `*` or `-` for simple bullet points
* **Typos and abbreviations**: Granola will understand and fix them - think of it like an even better autocorrect!

## Or, leave it blank!

While taking a few notes can help guide Granola, it works just fine without any notes taken, working solely off the transcript and the basic info it has about the meeting.
