The Notes App on iPhone allows you to Share and Collaborate Notes with your family members, classmates and friends. This can be quite useful in a variety of situations, ranging from preparing a shared grocery list to managing a group project.
In the case of a Shared Shopping List, you can have all the family members Collaborating to come up with a weekend Shopping List by adding grocery and other items that they require to the Family Shopping List.
In case of a Camping trip or a Picnic, families going to the trip can Collaborate using the Notes app to make sure that everyone is bringing their assigned items to the party.
Similarly, the Collaboration feature of the Notes app can be used by Students in School Projects to make sure that everyone is on the same page and doing their assigned tasks to complete the project.
