Apple Notes Rumored to Get Markdown Support in iOS 26

Apple's Notes app is reportedly getting Markdown support in iOS 26 and macOS 26, according to 9to5Mac. This would let users format text with simple syntax, ditching the app's current rich text controls. It's a big upgrade for keyboard-centric users, letting them type **bold** or # Header directly instead of tapping buttons. This puts Apple Notes on par with Obsidian, Notion, and Bear. Developers and writers already using Markdown on GitHub or Reddit will appreciate the streamlined workflow. If true, the feature will likely be unveiled at next week's WWDC alongside other iOS 26 improvements like automatic translation and polls in Messages, and a visual redesign.
