    Universal No tag symbol on the keyboard in the Notes app

    On iPhone and iPad, when creating or editing notes in the Notes app, no tag symbol # is shown above the keyboard like it is shown for the Reminders app. I don’t want to manually insert the tag symbol as it is not convenient.

    Which apps will scan photos using NeuralHash? Photos? Notes?

    When iOS 15 is available I'm going to disable iCloud sync for the Photos app. If I want to prevent Apple from searching my device completely, are there any other apps where I need to disable iCloud? What about Apple Notes? I have some notes that link to or embed images.
