Do you know of a way of putting more than one quick note on your desktop? I’m only able to put one at a time. When I put two, it’ll be the same note. Like a post it note.

The missing piece is backup, along with import and export. iCloud is great, but because the updates across devices are so fast, it’s a feature just waiting for a problem to happen.

I tried to do what you did on Apple Notes, but I think because I’m from Australia and my keyboard is Australian this is the reason why I can’t use the transcriptions of my voice but when I actually put the US keyboard still doesn’t work would you mind to check what keyboard you have what language you have setyou have your note working correctly thanks in advance and have a great day and thanks again for your great video

[@tjmanou6422]

a question please. if you type a sentence, can you circle a word with the apple pencil? just like in Notability or GoodNote? thank you

[@Annette_Hons]

I wish when you were typing a note on the iPad you could change the fonts, size and color they way you can when you use a MacBook or Mac to type a note. I definitely think Apple Notes is underrated. I love Apple Notes it comes in handy all the time.

When you do the realtime transcription, your text stays as one paragraph. When I use it, every sentence becomes its own line. How do you keep text as paragraphs? Is there a setting somewhere? Thank you.

[@kurs1122]

So with the collapsible lists and all these fantastic additional formatting like options. When you save this new note what file type is it by default? If you share this new type of note by emailing it, for example, will it send as plain text (.txt) like it currently does, or does it give us options of which format to send in ?

[@bradleyrees6239]

Do you have a shortcut that opened straight into a new note? If so how did you do it haha?

[@JorgeSanabriaOficial]

What’s the point with the credit card next to the ipad?

[@AliSatchu]

Does it correct the handwriting on a screenshot with annotated writing? That would be very useful for feedback loops on pdf docs, for example, or images.

[@JamesHeshka]

It does not. Only modifies the users' handwriting.

[@Artofwilliamsburgva]

What if your using an Apple Pencil 2 I seem to have lost my tool bar. Can you only get the menu with Apple Pencil pro on m4 iPad.

I have fallen in love with Loqseq. I like how I can journal with it, and link the notes together into a knowledge network. But I would much prefer if this functionality was included in Apple Notes. Note linking is not bad, but stuff like including today's date is not an in-built feature.

[@calista910]

The absolute best feature of Notes is its ability to recognize handwriting and text in pictures when you search for a note. Taking notes is useless if you cant find them again 6 months from now.

The converter is actually more amazing than you think. You could write 10m=, and it will fill it in inches, but if you want it in miles you can write: 10m in mi= Or 10kJ in Nm= You can even assign variables like this if you‘re too lazy to convert it yourself: L=100m in km and when you use the variable it will automatically use the 0.1km or 0.06 mi value instead of you having to type ‚in Unit‘ every time. So yeah… you can do a lot of stuff with it…

In Notes for the iPad , try to write a simple to-do list with the keyboard. Then, take the Pencil and try to write something next to (not below) that list (a parenthesis, a handwritten note, anything). Can you do it? I can't at least in iPadOS 17. It seems that where you write with the keyboard, you can't use the Pencil. Maybe it's just me being clumsy, but I find it absurd.

Pretty lame they didn’t offer the pop up tools/color/formatting picker through the otherwise worthless double-tap function on the prior version of the pencil.
