Okay, am I the only one who didn’t know that (apparently) the next iOS version is going to be 26, not 19? I assume, they’ll start following a year of release both for macOS and iOS, so it would be easier to know for non-techies. But my first reaction was ‘em, 8 years into the future? Looks weird, isn’t it? Maybe that’s some kind of a joke.’

You’re missing out. It’s a E2E encrypted solution that works really well.
Does it rely on iCloud for that? And is the E2E only enabled for Notes if it's enabled in iCloud? If so then the UK does not have E2E Notes.

Nevermind richtest company. It's like every year they release three new half-baked apps, that will not receive updates in years. Just focus on a core and let third-party apps do what they're good at.

#224I am consistently shocked at how bad Apple Notes is. I like the features it has and I like the iCloud sync between devices... I use it daily. But it's so damn buggy. It's a notes app! Why do new lines on a moderately-long note cause half the text to disappear until I hit the carriage return a few times? I also wish it simply converted copied text to plaintext by default rather than trying to preserve formatting.

Isn't this the default behaviour in all rich text apps? I think CMD+SHFT+OPTION+V pastes without preserving formatting.

Shift+Option+Command V pastes plain text on macOS.

#228What I find outrageous is that it's export-only. No writing in Markdown.

#230I would not recommend investing in the iOS Notes ecosystem. There is no way to export these notes with their metadata and media intact without using iCloud. If you need a note-taking app, go with Joplin instead; it supports Markdown, has both iOS and desktop clients, and supports self-hosted syncing.
