    Worth mentioning (in case no one did already) adding hashtags to notes makes it unavailable on older versions of the Notes app, so if your Mac is still running Big Sur and doesn’t qualify to upgrade to Monterey you won’t be able to see notes with tags in them

    You are definitely one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve seen with Apples Notes App.
    I have a doozy of a question for you, or anyone else that may have experienced this.
    When I write/update older notes on my devices (both iPhone or iPad) some of my notes have an issue where the text/lines/shapes etc. (anything I write) will shift 2-3mm down the page.
    This makes using Notes SUPER FRUSTRATING and nearly impossible when you’re trying to make things write to an exact part of a note. Anyone else have anything else like this happen?

    Wow this stuff is so useful and should be seen by anyone who uses an iPhone. So fundamental and useful. I’m gonna watch this many times to absorb the info

    This is great. Sometimes it’s hard to see what you’re tapping on iphone. Not sure how to improve that.
