Apple Notes App Tips And Tricks [Tutorial]

This is the only Apple Notes Guide you need in 2021!

There's a wealth of Notes apps available across all of Apple's devices, ranging from feature-slim to feature-bloated, expensive to free. But I reckon that for many people, the best Note taking app is the one already baked into their iPhones, iPads and Macs - Apple Notes!

In this video, I'll take you on a deep-dive into Apple's Notes app, showing you everything you need to get up and running in about 15 minutes!

I've got a lot of Apple devices and I know I'm not getting the most out of them. That's partly because I haven't bothered to learn all of their capabilities. After watching this video I'm much more likely to make use of the Notes app and I look forward to any other tutorials you might make.

I have been wanting to do folderception(folder within a folder) for YEARS and I never knew it could be done. You are an angel, good sir

You are a brilliant presenter! But also, it’s a highly intelligent, well thought out script, giving all the information in a concise, efficient, and professional way. Sadly, that is something so incredibly rare!!!! I can imagine you becoming THE place people come to when they want to learn something quickly and easily. Brilliant work, thanks!

[carolannerobinson]

You were concise, spoke clearly—not too fast—not too slow. Very easy to understand. I especially like the way you showed all devices. thank you!

I am using Note all the time, I be tried many others and I’ve always came back to it. I love the simplicity and easy to use of the note. And thanks for the last tip. This is brilliant!

Hi there. I don’t usually comment, but your content and presentation is fantastic. I’ve learned something new in each of your videos! Awesome work! 👍

As an apple user for a long time, I never really understood the core features of Notes. That's a fantastic tutorial. Thank you

[llaymard]

Thanks for an excellent video on Apple Notes. I just got an iPad Pro and have been exploring APPs including Notes.

[BobbyClements]

Thanks for this helpful video! My personal favourite is using the "dark mode". So much easier on the eyes while creating, especially when you're working in the dark

I’m 73 years old, and from the 70s have loved technology, especially computers. Was always an Android/Windows guy, but Google drove me away with their non-support of Android apps for tablets. I used to love messing about with PCs, and was the go to guy at work in the early days, when anyone had problems. Now that I’m older, I just want things to work! I don’t want to mess about with my technology anymore. Hence my move to the Apple ecosystem. I’ve been using an iPad Pro (2, 11” & 1, 12.9”) for about 5 years, and an iPhone for about 3 years, I think. I have the XS Max. I’m still using a windows laptop daily (3-5 hrs every day) and I have no trouble with Windows 10, but I will soon be getting my first Mac, and becoming a real Apple fan (not boy, but old man!). Even though it took me awhile to get here, I just want to tell you how much I’m enjoying your videos. You do a great job of explaining things. Thank you! 😊 Oh! Almost forgot, I’ve also recently bought a Series 7 Apple Watch, and the Ear Buds Pro. I got the latter to use with my Apple TV 4K, so I’m all in with Apple. 😁

OMG, I can't believe that I didn't notice that I could share the YouTube. videos to Notes. That's the tip of the decade for me and I'm very thankful to learn this this morning. I'd save the videos on YT, and it was very slow and still hard to find, and I couldn't add any other notes. This tip is a real game changer for me. Bookmarks if gone to excess are still hard to find and don't give a person much detail.

Do I have to be using iCloud photos for this to work with the photos? I don't use iCloud photos but I use photostream. When I click on my Mac notes to take a photo, it opens camera on my iPhone, I take the picture, but it doesn't show up in the note.

Great video, thanks.

Oops, never mind. It works, I forgot to click the use photo button

Very informative! Is there a way to use notes on apple watch, like say you are on a call and need to take note of a phone number. Is there a way to dictate on Apple Watch so that either your audio or transcript is stored as note?

[Armandonca]

thank you for your clear explanation which made me decide that i don't need no more notes apps than the apple notes.

[BridgetReadsandReads]

Thank you so much! I have been using the Notes app off and on for years but you have shown me tips I had no idea existed. Your video was very useful and informative!

[Anilu]

This is awesome!! I love this kind of deep dive into core apps and functions so I can make better use of my iPhone and iPad.

[davidfortune]

One of the things I use Notes for is pulling info together into one place! Say I have emails, Pages documents and urls, I drag and drop them onto a Notes page and each one forms a link. This feature makes life very easy if you are facing a meeting (and have to be ready for questions) or are planning something complicated. Try it! When I used this feature, the flexibility replaced all my ‘To Do’ apps!

[etienevanwyk]

One of the best if not the best Apple notes videos available. So informative.

[mopepom]

Congratulations! An outstanding video, that introduces Apple Notes without getting into the weeds. I have decided to use Apple Notes as the sole note-taking device for my Mac, iPad Pro & iPhone. It would be very helpful if there was Calendar app that integrates easily into the Apple Notes sub-system. Is there such?

[becka]

Thanks for this! There was a ton of good information here, but most importantly for me, you helped me figure out how to sync notes between my devices. This was driving me crazy! Thank you!
