It’s been a while since I created some content for Notes on the iPhone, but with the app seeing some pretty major updates as part of iOS 16, I figured I would make a video detailing how to get the most out of the app. So, in this video, I’ll explore everything there is to know about Notes for iPhone, on iOS 16.

I've just recently discovered your channel. Lately I am watching a new video each day. I am an old person who began programming back in the 70s and retired in 2000. Technology today has advanced so far beyond my skill set. Now, you are helping me join the 21st century. Thanks, Proper Honest Tech.

This is such a cool comment. I hope you’re having fun reminiscing on how technology was and comparing to how far it has come to today.

@@AlexisRanae - Thank you, Alexis. Yes, I grew up with dial telephones and black and white television. I still have my 64K, 80C85-based computer in my closet. Mostly I like the new technology but what I miss is being able to write programs and run them and I knew everything that was going on inside the computer. I was programming IBM mainframes back in the early 70s. It wasn't until around 2000 that PCs caught up to the sophistication that the mainframes had even in the Early 70s. Today, I'm just blown away with how the machines have advanced. One cool thing, though, is knowing that some code I wrote way back in that day is still running today because memories were so small and processors so slow, efficiency of code was required, and that efficiency is still required today for some applications. Blessings to you!

I was looking for a way to ditch Evernote and find a great alternative. Some are expensive, cumbersome, overwhelming, underwhelming and there is Notes… I exported my enex notebooks and imported every single notes to Notes. Added some tags to every note imported and created smart folders, and the job is done. The search function is amazing. Please make a video on Apple product sinergies (notes/reminder/mail/calendar/shortcuts) etc… there’s a whole productivity ecosystem that people aren’t aware of. Congratulations on a great job you did here 👏🏻👏🏻

I've used the Notes app in IOS since 2016. I press the Talk to Siri button on my Kia's steering wheel while driving and say "Note to self" and Siri opens the Note app and says "what do you want it to say?" and Siri transcribes the note into Note app and reads it back to me if it is long enough. It can even read back previous notes one at a time if I so choose. Secondly, I almost always use the mic button to enter text in Notes and Google Keep and other apps as well since it is much easier to speak than to one finger type. Thirdly, the default type face is Bold Title type face but if you once select Subheading Not Bold it will stay at that type face until you change it even when using voice input. I have used and loved both Google Keep and Notes for years and find them very valuable and they even work with my Apple Watch.

I absolutely love Apple Notes. There are just 2 things that I'd like them to do: - Just like you mentioned, allow Smart Folders to be nested into one another - I already have folders like that so allowing them to be Smart Folders would just make things easier and quicker. - Being able to record and replay recordings that are synced with notes, like you can in Notability.

@Frisson391 Жыл бұрын

Very much agree and ephasize the ability to nest folders. Perhaps its their way of not creating a duplicate. I would add noe that freeform is available the ability to share a note directly to freeform would be much appreciated and remive the steps of copy and paste as it can be done but clunky

It used to be that you could “copy link” in a note and use that link to navigate between notes within the Notes app. Since upgrading to iOS 16, I no longer see that feature. Do you know if it was removed, or am I just not seeing it? If it was removed, do you know of any workarounds to link between notes within the Notes app? Thanks again for another great video!

Love the way it integrates so well with other Apple apps, such as Reminders. Plus search is surprisingly good. Only minor gripes , I’d love to see the OneNote feature of being able to do numeric calculations on notes . Also I do miss the ‘infinite’ canvas of OneNote. But only minor issues . Apple notes is excellent.

Hi, Tom. This one is good. Thanks. I like and use Notes a lot. What I miss here is ability to copy/move note to calendar event. What we can do is to copy whole text (Cmnd C - Cmnd V) we have in note then move it to existing calendar event but what I mean is to have a quick action/button to do so. For example any Note - 3dot section and click to add to calendar event or create new event just right from the note app. I hope one day we get this as a gift from Cupertino.

I’d like to see the “notes” part of Reminders tied to Notes. Guessing you’d have to make better use of smart folders to make that work great. But it would reduce the confusion of backtracking to an older note/item without wondering which app to start in… while simultaneously improving the functionality of reminders notes. For instance, when you create a reminders list, you could choose to make a notes folder (or subfolder) to sync to it.
