Apple Notes New Features!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

At 78, I've lived in my 38' RV that I solar powered and recently upgraded to lithium batteries for 14 years. I walk everywhere as I don't tow a car or load a bike - I pull a heavy duty cart I built. I grocery shop weekly. I now use notes to make a check list and recently - thanks to your videos - when finished I take a picture of the receipt, adding it after the list. When I get home I see how many "extra" things I bought. I keep each one to check prices for future lists. Thanks, Rich !

[@RichBowlin]

What a great idea! But I'll have to limit that "receipt checking" to me. My wife might kill me of I constantly checked her receipts. Ha! Thanks so much for watching!

[@chrisrach3]

For seniors?! Crap, I loved this video lol

[@Shankarchennai]

Your narration is easily understandable. After seeing your video, downloaded 18. Its for all ages. You give us confidence in trying out new and urge us to experience. Thanks. Sankar, Chennai, India

[@ramonlnegron6120]

Thank you, Chris, for your nice, slow, and accurate explanations. It’s impossible not to learn from your easy to digest explanations.

[@sandraswitzer]

Hey Rich, I found out about IOS 18 last week . It’s terrific! I know I’ll enjoy watching you with all your new episodes. Thanks, looking forward to it.

[@oastie3]

Always find little golden nuggets in your presentations. In this case you solved the problem as to why my notes in iPadOS 18 would not collapse. It was simply a matter of formatting the first line as a title or a heading. Many thanks for that.

[@jimgrant1776]

Excellent video again, Rich. - - - Succinct and not spoken too fast for us seniors.

[@RichBowlin]

Glad you liked it!

[@michaeldietz1223]

Very helpful video. I’ve learned a lot form you and have forgot a lot since i don’t used all the features I learned everyday. But thank you anyway!

[@Joe_Montfort]

I’ve liked Notes since the very beginning when it looked like a yellow notepad. You’re right-it’s great that Apple has added so many functions and features over time and still keeps it uncluttered and easy to use!

[@RichBowlin]

Totally agree!

[@AndreaRossGreene]

Very informative Video. Thank you!

[@SolitaryWolf]

Can I just say, WOW? This presentation was amazing. Thank you.

[@Teresa-K]

Hi Rich! Very neat features! Especially like the recording application and the math application. Thanks for the info. We can always count on you to relay the newest features to keep us up to date. Kindness, Teresa

[@RichBowlin]

Hi Teresa! I hope you're doing well. Right now, it seems this video is one people are finding helpful. That always makes the effort worth while. Plus, it's always nice to get a compliment from you!

[@ps-mi5hy]

The new features are going to be very helpful. I appreciate that you made this video so quickly so we can start using the features right away.

[@RichBowlin]

You are so welcome!

[@Karenmccourt8240]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much.

[@pattamaljayaram5501]

Rich, Thanks a lot for the great inputs. As usual you articulated very well. All the tips are very usual .Looks note has a promising futures. Thank you once again. I don’t miss any of your video. God bless

[@RichBowlin]

I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@pauloconnor2]

Great video. Nice clear and details no extra fluff a lot of other channels have.

[@RichBowlin]

I appreciate that!

[@tcm6756]

Just discovered you Rich. Great stuff! I am currently looking for an iPad, no idea which one to look for (there are SO many now!). I look forward to learning how to use it and implementing some of your tips! Thanks.

[@msaw5943]

i'm such a fan now😃 you're my go to teatime learning for the day

[@melaniethompson7045]

Excellent video! I just got my new M4 iPad Pro and waiting for the upgrade to ios18. Seniors and everyone else will enjoy 😉

[@Ascent10]

Great demo, Rich; thank you, kindly ~

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Tomorrow (9/16/2024) is THE DAY!! Thank you for the heads up on Notes features. I have been a self-employed software developer ... finished my last development contract 1/2024 but as I move toward a semi-retirement photography/videography/art life, I do want to stay on top of tech! So - subscribed!!! It is easy to become "comfortable" with existing tech/devises and I very much wish to stay on top of things: exercising brain, using current tools and all of that. Thank you for the inspiration/motivation and information!

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

I just updated my iPhone 14 PRO to iOS 18. I haven't looked at all of the features you spoke of but the update went well and aesthetically, I LOVE the new icons ... subtle changes but very pleasing [to me]!

[@sandybruce9092]

Is iOS18 available today 9/17/24? I haven’t received a note yet in my iPad for a download. This upgrade sounds very interesting!

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

@@sandybruce9092 I am in Montana, U.S. I updated my iPhone plus 2 iPads on 9/16 afternoon. The update was not available first thing 9/16 for me. But I kept checking: Settings - General - Software Update. I had not received the "notification" but mid-afternoon, the Update was available as per above. Same with iPads (2020 pro and 6 inch mini). Update went smoothly on all and so far, I love it! Aesthetics plus new features: I use Photos a lot and wow!!!

[@petslittleworld]

Thanks a lot Rich, very well explained, I just got myself a new iPad and I had no idea the Notes tool could do so much more than Math and simple handwritten notes, liked and subscribed. It will be interesting to see what new features get added as AI.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@dommice]

Very helpful. Thanks so much Rich.

[@LiDeChen]

Excellent buddy. Works with my iPhone as well. Beautiful 🤩 Thanks a lot 😊

[@RichBowlin]

My pleasure 😊

[@Bunny-k1x]

Great tutorial! It is easy to follow. Thank you!

[@alexanderpaffenroth9990]

Thanks!

[@RichBowlin]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@damoninlr]

Excellent video, you might want to point out that Smart Scribe is limited to specific iPad models/hardware.

[@SeanMaguid]

Yes, this should be mentioned in the opening remarks. I'm also missing Math notes. Fortunately, the only item discussed that works on my iPad (10th gen) is audio recording. Unsubscribing.

[@Alicia652]

These new features look like they will be very helpful. Can’t wait to download the IOS 18 version so I can try them out. Thanks, Rich, for always keeping us updated on how to use the new features!

[@RichBowlin]

Hi Alicia! So good to hear from you. I hope you're doing well. Yes, iPad OS 18 is a welcome upgrade. It should be out very soon.

[@irvinson4026]

Apple features are awesome! I'm especially liking Apple notes more and more, the various things that one can do with it--the possibilities remain endless. However, being the only Apple guy in a world of PC users can be a lonely existence, lol. 😂. Thanks again for the video.

[@doanetriggs6254]

Your videos are absolute gold! I was thinking after watching this video that I really need to go back and categorize your videos by topic and rewatch them on the plane when I travel or anytime I have a little spare time. Question: How do I do that??? This might be something that would be of interest to others and hopefully you would consider doing a video as to how to facilitate this effort. Again…thank you for putting in the time and effort to create such excellent content.

[@marionb6154]

Thanks Rich, very interesting new features. Can’t wait until we get IOS 18 here in Australia 🙏👍

[@RogierYou]

We share a shopping list with the check boxes. Both of us are in different isles while shopping and can see what the other checked off the list.

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

I have used Apple Notes exclusively for scanning documents: insurance, tax information, etc. I have used Microsoft One Note for years - YEARS! I say that my "life" is in One Note. BUT, after watching this and going back a year and watching how you use Apple Note ... I am thinking about whether I want to transition to Apple Notes. Lots of similarities in functionality of capturing info and I confess I like the One Note "notebook" tabs and ability. Searching is good ... IDK ... I am almost talking myself out of a move as I write this!

[@bitkahuna]

you have a great speaking voice by the way... very clear. oh and nice tips on notes. thank you.

[@RichBowlin]

So nice of you

[@2020Tundra]

Thanks Rich… love your channel. I just shared this video with my brother, sisters and cousins. You do such an amazing job!! Keep ‘em coming 🙏

[@RichBowlin]

I appreciate that!

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

I wish Math Notes provided step-by-step answers. That's why I think it's an incomplete app. It's half-baked! Note: Your channel is one my favorite when it comes to tutorial-based channels. Hands down is one of the top channels in that niche.

[@sandybruce9092]

I’ve been using an iPad for quite a few years - I still have my original which is slowly going to die eventually - still works but slow and it’s starting to come apart😃😃. But I love my new one so much and I’ve forgotten just about everything I know about a PC! I’ve been watching you using the pen but I haven’t decided if I need one - but yes, I think I do WANT one!! I’ve always gone back to my iPhone for the calculator as many times I need to convert cm to imperial numbers - hope iOS18 is coming soon!!!

[@banksiasong]

Excellent and helpful episode about the mighty Notes app which has always punched above its weight.

[@RichBowlin]

Great description. It really has. I keep trying other apps and seem to always find my way back to the Notes app.

[@denisbrazeau5031]

I just learned something! Thank you very much!

[@RichBowlin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@igornyoman9840]

Hi Rich thanks for the video, wondering if you experience any overheating in your iPad when using a note taking? I do

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Rick, always great info. Thanks.

[@RichBowlin]

Very welcome!

[@squeakyg2161]

Hi I was trying to follow along with you but my iPad Pro is on OS 17.7 so I don’t have the first Apple Note feature BUT the remaining features I was able to try out. 🎉thank you it was so much fun. Apple Store has the Audio notes application so. I might download it for now. “Grandpa” I love our videos. ❤❤your pace is perfect and it gives me a chance to follow along easily. Thanks 🙏 again. Bye, bye for now until the next lesson.

[@squeakyg2161]

How do you get the calculator on the iPad? Do I need to download it? Don’t have calculator.

[@BrendaAnderson]

@@squeakyg2161 the iPadOS18 will be coming out in a few days, so if you install that update when it arrives, you'll have all of these features.

[@squeakyg2161]

@@BrendaAnderson thanks 🙏 tho not sure this iPad Pro will be compatible for the next update

[@BrendaAnderson]

@@squeakyg2161 oh okay. Just in case, these are the iPads that are compatible: * iPad Pro (M4) * iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later) * iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later) Essentially that includes any iPad from 2018 or newer. I have an older one so I'll be missing out myself, so I can empathise if that's you too. :)

[@derekbarkham2314]

Hi Rich, can you share the audio recording and transcript with other people who might not be using Apple, perhaps Windows, for example? Thanks for a great explanation.

[@LindaCapra]

I am hoping that later you will go into more info on the smart scribe. I have been using the iPadOS 18 public beta since it came out. I make a lot of screen shots and then write notes and highlight sections of the text and the smart scribe has improved with every update. My problem is all the channels I watch for new features in the beta versions mention how you can change the distance between words, correct, etc. but go over it so fast that I cannot make it work for me.

[@Mjmcaw]

Hi Rich, thanks for your tips. I can’t get highlights in Notes to work in iPadOS 18.0.1 , works ok in iPhone and Mac but not iPad……!

[@nisagomez4366]

Thanks for the tips.

[@nauticfilms]

Great stuff. Can you elaborate on the transcribe function? 1. Does it work on audio notes you have imported from voice memos? 2. Can it handle (unlike the voice memo app afaik) more than one language? (I have English as system language, but also have voice memos in German and Spanish) Any help much appreciated. Keep it up.

[@sbasu2009]

thank u so much Rich for such a simplistic video is the audio recording transcribe feature not available on all ipad models? i m using ipad pro 2019 11 inch

[@mauisam1]

Those are some nice features but the one that is keeping me from switching from Evernote is web page clipping, where is can cutout just the text of a webpage and not all the advertisements. The other thing I would like to see is a iCloud shared note like Photos. My wife and I need a shared note to add food items to a groceries list.

[@LindaCapra]

Which browser are you using? If Safari, it does have the reader option that work for some websites. You can bring it up for a particular website by clicking on the Aa icon on the left of the address bar. You can also use the reader mode automatically and it will cut out all the distractions (as long as the website supports it) and then if you want to add it to a note, I’m sure there is a way to do it. As far as shared notes, from what I have watched so far, I wouldn’t be surprised there would be a way to do that. I know now notes, reminders, and calendar have some integration abilities. Maybe if you and your wife share an apple calendar, you could attach the shopping list right to the calendar.

[@michaelrubino9041]

It would be helpful if you mentioned the configuration of the iPad you’re using for your demo. After updating to IOS18 and trying the new Notes, I found that some of the features you showed don’t work on my iPad Pro 11” which is about 4 years old.

[@alanbarnett7747]

I’m looking forward to the collapsible sections in Notes. Will the section collapse with media in it, such as a photo or pdf or will it just collapse the text?

[@andyb7754]

Very good tips, thank you. Way too much for a worn out broken down old man to remember and learn. I'll just have to keep watching the video and trying after the upgrade comes. Thank you again.

[@RichBowlin]

Ha! I told my wife I need an overhaul - like a car. I could use a lot of new parts. Thanks so much for watching!

[@mencken8]

In covering the audio recording feature, no admonishment is made re: recording people without their knowledge. It cannot be assumed that people understand that they should always notify any other participants in a conversation before recording.

[@Quince828]

previously record didn't work if you were on a phone call. This was very frustrating when say a doctors office called with an appointment and you couldn't note it down fast enough as they spoke. I sometimes would have to ask them to call back and leave a voice mail so I could remember the information

[@Buffaloc]

Thanks. You have my life easier.

[@RichBowlin]

I'm glad you like it!

[@karayuschij]

I have not the option for speech to text on my iPad…

[@nguyenvuhuynh6841]

Me too ipad air m1

[@SCSLead]

I need help: why can’t I use the Apple Pencil in the same area of a note where I typed? Is Markup really the only way to do this?

[@stanmans]

Rich. I know this is not the correct video but how do I find spotlight? I have the new iOS 18 and I have no clues. Sometimes I think you’re assuming we have a knowledge of what you’re talking about how many of us don’t

[@Ron_DeForest]

Was wondering if you know of a way to use notes as a sticky note for your desktop. I know there’s a notes widget but I can’t find a way of having more than one. When I pop a 2nd on up, it shows the same note as the previous one I have. I’d like to have multiple notes.

[@Lifeof-Jo]

Mine is not doing that and I don’t get pen options. I am on the latest iOS

[@starlink58]

Can you show me how to set the Siri voice alarm?😊

[@steveclarry1420]

Just downloaded ios18 but smart scribe does not work, are there any setting I need to adjust first.

[@errolforster2226]

Looks really helpful.

[@moccasinlanding]

In some doctor's offices, there are signs that say NO RECORDING OF AUDIO OR PHOTOS ARE ALLOWED. It really would be handy for me to record what the doctor says about a new prescription he is authorizing.

[@johninsalisbury2010]

wish i could make a pdf with notes

[@NichaelCramer]

How well does SmartScribe work with cursive?

[@RichBowlin]

Good question. I've not tested that out. I've seen a video or two where it seems to work pretty well.

[@bitkahuna]

you don't have to press AND HOLD to paste... just touch, then paste.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Hello, thanks for all the tips and info. Regarding the audio transcription feature. Can we copy ONLY the transcription (not audio) to another new note ?

[@RichBowlin]

I'm pretty sure you could copy the audio as well as the transcription. Hope this helps.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

@@RichBowlin Okay, thanks for sharing. Curious for the release of iOS18 and try this out in my ipad pro M1 . I guess these wont work on older ipads .

[@Sconstable]

Here's a handy tip for those of you who write notes (in my case, in cursive) while recording audio, yes, you can do that! Just open a new note (I call my Audio Notes), add it as a slide over item, start your recording, slide the Audio Notes panel so that it's hidden, type your meeting notes in the other note. When the meeting is done, you can slide over to the "hidden" Audio Note, hit DONE, then drag and drop it into the meeting note. Voila! Now you have all your action items and a copy of the audio note with the transcription. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go cancel my subscription to other note taking software.

[@RichBowlin]

Wow! What a great suggestion. I'm going to try this too. I should put this idea in a video. Makes so much practical sense without being super hard to do. Thanks so much for the tip!

[@mymuni]

I don’t see smart scribe a math notes in my note app . Is it because i live in India and these features are available only USA.

[@NichaelCramer]

One the screen in Notes, you have three “panes”, the second pane has the controls. On my screen I only have the left-most Files pane and the right-most text pane. How do I open the middle pane? Thanks

[@RichBowlin]

When you use folders containing notes, you get the three panes. Hope this helps!

[@ronferguson6840]

Will the notes audio feature also work on the iPhone iOS 18?

[@RichBowlin]

I've not tested it yet but I think it will. So you can use your phone to record in meetings and such.

[@rogerboatman2768]

Do some of these new features just work on certain ipad models? Several of items you demonstrated do not work on my ipad 9th generation on IOS 18, for example the transcript option with reording? I did enjoy the demo, however.

[@RichBowlin]

I think the 9th gen iPad should have all the features as other iPads. I'm running a later beta version of iPad OS 18, so my guess is your iPad will catch up very soon as Apple releases the updates. Hope this helps!

[@calista910]

does smart scrirbe change your handwriting into a font?

[@RichBowlin]

No, it just sort of "cleans" up your handwriting a bit. It still looks like your handwriting, only neater.

[@calista910]

@ ok thanks do u know if they’ll make something like what I said in the future

[@harshitkansal125]

funfact they introduce that many features in notes app that made it very heavy.....and its constantly crashing in my air m2....also the screen is getting really hot after 15min of usage an battery heavily draining

[@DiPlanet883]

Apparently smart notes only works with Apple Pencil?

[@betspath]

I want to know too!

[@BaguaDude]

Think i can get it to give me a rationalized expression as an exact answer yet?

[@BaguaDude]

How about translating that transcription? Now we’re talking useful

[@vasili_pasioudis]

Re: Collapsible Headings. Nowhere on the internet, has anyone explained if you are able to do levels, a collapsible heading levels, inside another collapsible heading or subheading. How many levels can we do/collapse. This feature, inc 6 levels, was avail. In iWork almost a decade ago. Can you collapse/uncollapse multiple headings by assigning a keyboard shortcut. Thanks

[@LavishHim]

iPad has always had a calculator, from day 1. 😉

[@tonysicily2687]

Still does not have bookmarking within a note or automatic directories of a folder.. without these, it is still waaaaay behind EverNotes or other 3rd party apps

[@johnbierman4200]

Why does my screen look nothing like your screen? What settings am I missing?

[@Greenman247]

Have you updated to the new software? That could be it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jrpalmer4488]

How come you’re talking IOS18 when the most last update I have got is 17.7?

[@guyincascade]

Ios 18 came out last monday16 Sept

[@maxi.7011]

I know I can put a password on individual Notes, but does the Notes app have a password for the app as a whole? I thought that was coming with iOS 18..

[@NevrNewd]

You can set any app to require FaceID to open with iOS 18.

[@raymondesorensen]

I have ipad 10th generation cannot see where you are in yhese lessons nor in calculator to add notes i need your help

[@redastair]

More iOS than iPad version. Some of these features are iOS 18 which isn’t formally released until the 16th September. look for available updates to the OS then and you should be able to follow along.

[@critterwhisperer]

Just upgraded to iPad os18. Smart scribe doesn’t work. And the audio recording doesn’t have the option to convert to text. Any idea why this is happening?

[@campyvansters]

Your iPad likely doesn’t support those features (need to upgrade = $$$)

[@doloresdew]

I have an iPad Pro and have IOS 17.6.1. When will we see IOS 18???

[@RichBowlin]

Soon. My guess is in a few weeks from that date of the release of this video.

[@FaizanScribe]

Hi ! I have been note taking on ipad pro since the first gen ipad pro. Using Apple Notes causes the device to heat a lot. And I have experienced it all the time in all the devices. And this has forced me NOT to use Apple Notes. Have you too ?

[@RichBowlin]

Heating a bit - yes - but only on my iPhone. Not my iPad. But the heat on my iPhone is only noticeable and not annoying. I have heard about this a little bit though. I hope an update to your devices fixes this issue for you.

[@gary-fp8rw]

When AI starts, do you think it will be to hard too explain things to us? Thank you for sharing this video.

[@johninsalisbury2010]

[@alexhall6375]

Solutions in search of a problem or need?

[@RichBowlin]

Hard to say. I think those that program not only need to solve problems, but find better ways to do common things. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Ron_DeForest]

Math notes is cool but you have to pay for it. Crazy expensive if memory serves.

[@USRMBMN1]

No charge for Math Notes, built into iPadOS 18

[@HistoryNut-1701]

Apple needs to bring their new AI to their older devices and not just their newest ones.

[@RichBowlin]

I wish that could happen. But my guess is that the older devices do not have enough on-device storage, memory and power to house the AI functionality. Unlike other companies, Apple has decided to keep AI as "private" as possible. And that's takes a different architecture than has existed previously. It'll all be on-device, or at least most of it, as opposed to flying up to the cloud, getting an answer, and delivering it back to the device. I guess we'll see how it really turns out.

[@monukumar-yv8fw]

Apple note has heating issues

[@caskraker]

Using a pencil to write notes is like using a USB record player to play music. Fun to try, stupid to use.

[@RichBowlin]

I've gotten used to it. One of these days I'm going to make a video on how I use the Apple Pencil in my work. It's probably less than what people think, but I do use it strategically, and I find it useful. Thanks so much for watching!

[@nathanaelculver5308]

I frequently hand write notes. But what Rich doesn’t mention is that Scribe isn’t restricted to notes. It works system-wide. For example, if you edit a photo in the Photos app, and write a note on the photo, Scribe will work there, as well.

[@mhd230289]

In ios simple tasks which is essential to everyone is addedas a feature in the latest update. Thats an irony. Many features which are upcoming in ios update are available on other OS since ages

[@Stewbular]

Oh iPad OS 18 Rich expects us old folks to have 18 beta Otherwise there ain’t no dang smart scribe in 17.6.1
