Starting with iOS 9.3, Apple added the ability to set a password for notes in the iOS app of the same name. Since Notes often contains sensitive information such as bank account numbers, health data, and even personal diaries, it’s surprising why password protection was not provided in the beginning.

To set a password for Notes, you need an iOS device with iOS 9.3 or higher installed.
It is worth noting that you can password-protect notes only if Notes are saved locally on the iPhone (iPad) or synchronized with iCloud (Settings → iCloud). For example, if you sync notes with Gmail (this is configured along the path Settings → Passwords and Accounts), the option to protect such notes will be unavailable.
