Thanks! I always find it frustrating when RUclipsrs show their actual phone and touch it with their hands (which are always in the way), so we created the finger to show the right section of the phone without getting in the way. We use that finger in most of our videos these days! Thanks for watching!
I totally agree. Earlier I watched a similar video and had a hard time understanding because I couldn't always see what was happening. The pointer is VERY helpful. I subscribed and will continue to seek your videos for further learning.
Sounds like you're getting a lot of value out of the videos in my library. Any specific topics you'd like me to cover or things you need more help with? I love it when a viewer responds on multiple videos... and I just want to say thank you, and let me know how I can support your learning process better!
Thanks for that! Make sure you check out the latest videos on notes that I've released. There are three of them in a brand new playlist focusing on the highest functions of iOS 18's notes. There's a lot of great information there, and please let me know if you have questions or if there's anything else I can help you with. You can watch the first one here: ruclips.net/video/CwVPwwMKngU/видео.html
That's a great suggestion. Fortunately Apple is always updating and upgrading the app, and next week we will hear what they have in store for iOS 18! Maybe we'll get lucky and they will implement your suggestion!

@@TheMacWhisperer I followed your steps exactly and just tried again, but that option doesn’t come up when quicknotes is opened on my iphone. On my ipad however, it does, and I am easily able to add the link. I checked updates and it’s updated to the latest version of iOS on my iphone. It’s a mystery.
EverNote is barely still alive. I expect more and more Apple users to choose Notes over Evernote… And more and more PC/android users to find other alternatives. It's just a matter of time, the writing is already on the wall.
Absolutley. The next video i release will be all about how to organize notes, and folders is a big part of it!!! You can create a new folder easily from the bottom left corner on the phone (you have to be on the folders view), or on the bottom left corner on the Mac Notes App.
I'm always excited about the new OS releases for precisely that reason. What 3rd party apps are you still subscribing to? Apple will be revealing iOS 18 to developers on Monday, so i can't wait to hear what new features they'll be adding.
@@TheMacWhispererthree months ago I made the transition from Evernote to Apple Notes . It was a tedious task however when you put your mind into something, it’s fantastic felt therapeutic and free. I am looking to dropping Microsoft Office 365 personal and just stick to Apple native apps like numbers, pages. New enhancements coming to pages notes. So I am excited and save some money and peace of mind.
My quick notes does not have an add link option ???? Any help ? iPhone 14 Pro Max. And my iPad Pro as well… .both are up to date. I love the idea of this feature …. Please help :(
I'm not sure why you are not finding the ad link option… I have tested it on my devices, and it works for me. What would be helpful is to walk me through how you are using it (what app is open, how you are creating the quick note, any specifics on how you're accessing it, etc.…) Also, I have found that when people have increased their text size, it sometimes affects functionality. So, if your text has been increased, try reducing it and seeing if that helps. So that I can hopefully figure out why it's not working for
Thank you, MacKellar! 😊 And yes, you’re right-those three magical dots are an ellipsis. I appreciate the insight! If you ever want to dive deeper into Apple magic, join us for one of our weekly live broadcasts or check out themacwhisperer.com for more tips and 1:1 opportunities. 🎉
I would suggest using a hashtag to sort things. You could have one tag called: #Recipe and one called #Favorites then you could create a smart folder that collects anything that has both of those hashtags. Then anytime you tag a recipe as a favorite it would show up there. you could also create a single hashtag that is #Recipe-Favorites, but personally I always prefer shorter tags and the ability to combine them. Hope that helps!
I finally found my problem I had my browser set to Private mode. It makes sense now that I think about it but it really had me scratching my head for a couple of days. Wish it might have been mentioned in the video.
It's not made for Android. Technically, you can use the webapp version through iCloud.com, but that defeats the purpose. If you are using an Android, you should stick to Google tools.
how do I search to find only AI and not all notes that have ai (such as AirPods, AirTags etc. I tried "AI" but it failed to narrow it down. I have taken alot of classes about AI (artificial intelligence ) and want to find them only. Learned a lot from this lecture-thanks.
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that... yet. Hopefully iOS 18 will help, but I kind of doubt it. You can leave feedback for Apple on this topic here: www.apple.com/feedback/ (which I have also done)> Apple cares about feedback but doesn't always prioritize it.

Yeah, man, I dig it! I onetime made a poem. It was called an Ode to a Cow Dying. (clears through) I wouldn’t say I like the sound of a cow dying; moo moo, let me put it out of its crying. It's not much fun watching a cow dying. And one last thing, get a haircut.

In order for quick links to add a link you have to be in a supported app. The supported apps are Apple apps like Safari, notes, contacts, messages, email reminders… Etc. It may work on other third-party apps, but not reliably. When you are in one of those apps and pull down the control panel to click quick note it should give you the option of adding the link.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you here. The next video I am releasing will be about organizing notes, which I think will help you figure out what is and is an important and start to eliminate some of the old stuff so that you can find the things you're actually looking for. Notes can get really cluttered and overwhelming without a little bit of organization.

Hashtags are great, but it is an entirely different tool. Hashtags are to make searching easier by giving you simple tags to find notes scattered across your notes library. Linked notes are to access or allow you to reference a specific note (not all the notes with a hashtag) from within an existing note. Both are very helpful tools but for completely different reasons. Are you actively using hashtags? how are you using them?
@@TheMacWhisperer Hullo! I was not aware one could link notes until your video! Yes, I use hashtags a lot and find them invaluably useful as I was already familiar with them from the old X (Twitter). I will be trying out how to link.
The three dots on my Notes app only shows view as gallery, select notes, and view attachments. I can get to what you see only by going into settings and choosing the Notes app. Is there some way to change that so it shows up the way yours does?
I am on the latest version of iOS; however, I was looking at folders on the iCloud, which did not show the options you had. But when I looked at the folders on my phone it did. So I’m guessing that’s the issue.
Or just get capacities, you wont look back once switching. Apple notes is not secure and apple can see what you wrote down which could lead to insecure data breaches.
I'll stick with Apple. The integration with Siri and the easy synchronization and connection to everything in Apple's ecosystem will always win the day for me. I like to keep it simple.
@@TheMacWhisperer I am just starting out but I am determined to utilize Notes specifically for tracking projects and such at work. I work in Quality Assurance/Quality Control so I have numerous simultaneous projects. I also rely heavily on photos so using notes and adding photos is quite helpful.
