Hey folks. I created an entire course on Apple Notes! It teaches you even more features, but more importantly, a workflow for organizing everything.

just bought a apple watch 7 and i‘m missing the notes app on the watch, could be very helpful to have it there aswell…

Need to be able to add quick notes from Chrome. This is so sooo important

[tomkimes]

Great overview of these very useful features. I do have a wish list for a few additional features that I would like to see added: 1) Support importing tags from .enex import files, 2) Allow notes to be combined/merged, 3) allow text to be searched and highlighted on any attached image or pdf.

There still doesn't seem to be any kind of version control though? Unless I'm not looking in the right place. But I just lost a lot of key information and not being able to find it, I can't justify using this for work if there is no way to back it up. Hopefully there is a solution I don't know of that you might be aware of?

Badly needed is restoring deleted text in notes. Eg recover the note as it was 3 hours ago. Same as Google Docs or Pages on Mac

[bommaritohawaii]

Also needed is ability to export multiple notes at the same time.

Internal linking is still missing... Obsidian FTW!

Hey Peter, great video! I just moved from iOS 15 to 16 and I can't export images inside my note to a folder on Files anymore. How can I do that on iOS16?

[unnikrishnanmsc.med.]

I can’t scroll fast or load notes fast in the new ios16 .Any suggestions

[Joe-govu]

Not on IOS 16 yet but noticed that both my iPad and iPhone are on IOS15.6. The iPad had a quick notes option but the iPhone does not. The iPad version allows one to add a quick note from the control center but not a quick link. Looking forward to the full function version.

So cool you can search checklists, thanks 🙏

[mikebedford]

Great video! You can have multiple instances of notes on iPad I.e ‘side by side’ - Will you be able to do this on Mac? (also with reminders?)

[Trifecta]

Uh… yeah I don’t take or make that many notes that I need any of these features..lol!!! But it’s still cool…I guess

[tikycz]

I never use it. Bcs i never understand what they do. And then I could not change it

Hi, Mr Akkies. I am an Apple user since years and, after all this time, I want to give an opportunity to Apple Notes because I have never took care to learn about this App. Is there an option to duplicate folders? I can only find the option of duplicate notes (unless I am wrong). Thanks!

[italiangspot]

We still can not customize font colors on iOS and iPadOS?

[sjm]

Are they reinstating the features that allows Siri to add to an existing note? This was a great feature that they seemed to remove for no reason.

[MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Thanks, when I do quick notes from control Center with Safari open. There is no add link option . It just says notes with the back arrow on the left and over to the right it says done.

[PrimoMT]

there isnt a way to link a note within another note yet, is there? without that workaround with links
