greiggy 2 Posted December 21, 2018 Evernote is the supreme online note system and as such links – internal and external hyperlinks – are essential to its nature. Links and hyperlinks work fine for me on the Mac and online apps but I can't find how to add a hyperlink in iOS e.g. on iPad or iPhone. I have been an Evernote user for some years and I'm sure hyperlinks were easy enough before... What am I missing here? Share this post Link to post
DTLow 3,902 Posted December 21, 2018 I'm able to insert hyperlinks into a note in Evernote/IOS For an internal link, I use the copy-internal-link function, and paste. For external links I copy/paste, or just type the link address What's missing in IOS is the edit link function. I'm not able to edit the url embedded beneath the text. Share this post Link to post
greiggy 2 Posted December 21, 2018 OK, I can copy the internal link, or copy/paste an external URL link address. However, they tend to be long e.g. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vvJiiCTCXBwH3_uuvGbQk9l84N5A1RwxRbQu4fPjOxo/edit?usp=sharing Nobody wants that taking up three lines in a note, or a big chunk of a mobile device screen. I'm sure in 'historic Evernote' I used to be able to set the name of the link e.g. 'GDoc 3x134'. I don't want to edit the actual URL, just name it sensibly. Share this post Link to post

greiggy 2 Posted December 21, 2018 Interesting. How would you edit (and shorten) the displayed text, which is the link -- in this note: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s5/sh/cd666a60-c298-41ab-a1ce-c8740bfabaa3/d5bee225aa4a7797436145dfacbc349c Share this post Link to post

greiggy 2 Posted December 26, 2018 That's a really helpful tip. Not exactly what I wanted (to name the link properly) but it resolves my problem. Thank you so much. Share this post Link to post

Paul Badea 1 Posted December 3 What I do for IOS is I copy the hyperlink into google docs and edit it there, and then copy it back to evernote. Share this post Link to post
