[iMore Question]

have ios 9.3 b6 on an iPad Pro and iPad4 --- set up several icloud-shared notes with the new password-locked feature. was interested to see how these password-locked notes would appear on the iphone with 9.2, as well as managed between the two iPads.

interestingly, the locked notes just don't appear at all on the iphone 9.2.

additionally, with this beta version, unlocking one note unlocks them all ... notes not individually locked.

is this what others are experiencing with this beta?

I would think that's how they have it. Just like 1Password locks all your passwords with the same master password.

I don't know about iOS 9.2, but you're right in regard to iOS 9.3 beta. Unlocking one note unlocks them all.

Exactly what D said!!

I think it's intended that the locked Notes on iOS 9.3 do not show on iOS 9.2. Why would they? 9.2 has no lock feature. It's for security, is it not?

Pretty sure that's because it's a new feature coming in 9.3, so it makes sense you can't see it in 9.2.

This seems to be intended, although it may be different by the time they're done. We'll have to wait and see if individual notes can be locked when 9.3 goes live.

Why would notes be individually locked? Relocking any note after the user already unlocked a note while they're using the app would be silly.

That's a matter of personal opinion. Maybe some people only want certain notes locked without locking them all. Nothing silly about that.
