If everything is working fine on your iPhone, you should be able to see the “Add people” button or icon located at the top of your screen in the Notes App, next to the Share button.

The Add People icon allows you to Add People to Notes that you want to Collaborate with. Tapping on the Add People icon takes you to a screen where you can invite people to your Note using iMessage, Mail App, WhatsApp, Facebook and other options.

In case you are unable to find the “Add People” button on the Notes App on your iPhone, the problem could be due to iCloud Settings for the Notes app or due to a software glitch on your iPhone.

Let us take a look at some of the most common reasons for the missing “Add People” icon in the Notes App and how to fix them.
