About this APK
Notes is an app, listed since at least March 2020. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.
It asks for 50 permissions, 3 of them sensitive: display over other apps, request installing other apps and see all installed apps. Compared with version 13.10.44, it adds 4 new permissions (“Request installing other apps”, “See all installed apps”, “Foreground service data sync” and “Turn screen on”) and drops 2 (“Disable keyguard” and “Record audio”).

Notes APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Notes APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4a0f86a9bcf8c34bd832b33e155f726b.
