Right. It is possible if each device shares the same iCloud account. I'm speaking of the new family sharing feature where each member with their own iCloud account can share photos, calendars, reminders.

Yeah, I know what you’re talking about.
You’re absolutely correct. Family Share allows you to share photos, calendars and reminders. If you want to share Notes, you have to use iCloud.
I thought I was pretty clear with my response. Maybe I stuttered.

Glad that method is working for you. However, my question is specific to the "family sharing" feature.

One option is to use the app "Phonto". You can use any color or size image
to write your notes. Then you can share them direct to iCloud Photo Sharing, which can be shared by family members. This option is not on the stock notes app. It works pretty good.

Ok, then. Since your question is specific to "family sharing", the answer would be "you can’t".

I was excited for family sharing but after attempting to set it up and finding out all the limitations and everything its just easier to do what I have been doing and just share my id for iTunes and have family on their own iCloud for everything else.

Can you just use the shared reminders list for notes? Might be a good work around at least.

I'm currently using an app called "anylist". We use it for grocery/shopping lists. Anytime my wife or I add and item it syncs to the other and we both always have an updated list. However, I always prefer to use Apple apps when possible which is why I thought the "notes" app would have been perfect for that.

I'm using the family shared reminders list as a grocery shopping list. It works well and when we're at the store we can easily check off items bought.
Completely agree. It's very puzzling that both notes AND contacts were left out. For now, my wife and I will use the same account but we'll leave the kids on the family share.
We normally used the Notes application for grocery lists and other recurring purchases (AC filter sizes, printer toner, etc.) but I might check out Reminders. Thanks for the suggestion.

But to share notes via iCloud, for example with a family member, wife or so, you both have to be on the same AppleID? Or is it possible to share with other accounts?
This could really be usable feature to me and my brother, as we are running a business together, and therefor have to share plans, "to-do`s, ideas and so..
The Notes app you need to be on the same AppleId but the Reminders app you can share with someone else.
But then you have to be on the same AppleID, to share notes via iCloud RIGHT??
Yes, sure! I think it's OK because we are family.

I've recently started using OneNote and it works great. It keeps my notes on iPhone, iPod touch, and pc in sync and allows me to share any notebook with my brother. The shared notebook can be allowed to be edited by whoever you share it with or with just 'view only' permission. Try it. 😊
