This feature is perfect for students who want to save time while maintaining the quality of their writing. The "Compose" button is located at the bottom of the writing area in Apple Notes.

Another addition is "Describe Your Change", which allows providing instructions on how to rewrite a note and choose the style that needed.
By writing out the instructions, users can provide Apple's intelligence with clear directions on how to rephrase the notes, and it will work according to it.

"Create Image" feature
