We are talking about co-editing notes in a standard application that allows you to see what each user writes in real time. It hardly has any practical value (it requires an internet connection, which means nothing prevents you from chatting in any messenger or social network), but the function can be used as a fun trick to surprise friends. For this:

1. Open the standard Notes application and create a new file.
2. Click on the icon with three dots in the upper right corner.
3. Select "Share a note" and send invitations to other participants in any convenient way.

4. Click on the shared icon that appears and select "Manage Shared Note".
5. Move the switch next to the item "Highlight changes" in the active position. To add an element of surprise, also enable the Hide Notifications option.

With these settings, you can use Notes as a messenger. Conveniently, the text of each user will be highlighted in a different color. This is essentially the same as co-authoring in Google Docs, but using the standard iOS app.
