MIUI TIP: Learn how to use Notes fully. Hiding incredibly much

Today it is part of a series MIUI tips let's look at a simple but useful application Notes. It is part of the MIUI software superstructure and is therefore available to all users who have a Xiaomi smartphone Redmi with this superstructure.

Beauty in simplicity

Here, too, the simpler the application and the more intuitive the operation, the more popular it is with users. The basic function of the Notes application, as its name implies, is to take notes.

The application can handle simple text as well as voice notes. You add both types by clicking on one of the two icons in the lower right corner. The note can also be combined, ie with the content of voice and text.

You can insert text, a photo and an audio recording directly into an open and edited note.

When writing a shopping list, you can add check boxes to each item. Then you simply click on what you have already bought. Of course, this feature is useful not only for the shopping list.

You can find other various functions when working with text. You can choose different styles as well as font size, side alignment or center alignment.

You can set any background in the note, as well as a theme that will change the overall look of the note.

A useful feature is note sharing. Here you have the choice of sharing the note as text or as a photo. You can choose the type of sharing from all used social networking applications, various communicators, e-mail clients or even in the form of an SMS message.

You can also copy a note as text or a photo to any storage location, memory card, or any online storage.

The amount of notes you write can cause chaos, but not in the Notes application from MIUI. All notes can be organized into folders and the type of display in the grid or list can also be selected.

In the application settings, you can choose to sort the notes by creation date as well as by editing date.

Another handy feature and advantage of the entire Notes application is the ability to sync all of its contents with My Account and cloud. Once sync starts, you can also hide and lock notes with sensitive content.

Not only notes, but also tasks

Another part of a handy application is the ingredient Tasks. As in the notes, you can add a text task as well as a task in the form of an audio recording. However, you no longer have a wide range of settings or work with text available in tasks.

Here, the developers focused only on simply and quickly adding a task with a basic description. The primary advantage is the ability to set a reminder for the task. The application will alert you at the selected time to the waiting task that you have marked.

For individual tasks, there is a window with checkboxes, in which you mark the completed task as completed. Tasks marked this way will be less prominent, or you can hide them completely in the settings.

For quick viewing and editing of tasks, there is a function Use tools. When activated, a floating widget will appear on the left edge of the screen. The height of its placement is adjustable by holding and pulling your finger.

Whatever you do with your smartphone for a quick invocation task just swipe your finger across the screen from left to right in the area where the floating widged is located. This handy and infectious feature is also shown in the video on the official MIUI account on Twitter.

Friday night party was arranged to my "Task". If you are enjoying your party, you can try to use "voice" to add a task without stopping your party time. Happy Friday 😁 pic.twitter.com/t7Uu0tjuST
