Hi John,
a diligent user of the app says thank you (also) for this tip.
Note:
"Add the sharing option for Pages on iPhone" - this was not necessary on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Hello Eva,
I'm glad the tip helped you :)
Apparently Apple thought that the option should be displayed directly on the larger screen, but must be added manually on a smaller one. I use the iPhone 12 Pro and I had to take the detour shown.
Best regards
John
Hello, unfortunately I don't see the option to open in Pages. There is no option under action either. How do I fix it? Thanks and regards
Hello Angelica,
I assume you mean a note on the iPhone because you are writing about action (or editing actions).
Which iPhone are you using and which iOS version is installed on it?
Best regards
John
Hello John, thank you for your feedback. I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iOS 16.5.1.
In fact, I wanted to open a note from the IPhone on the IPad Pro in Pages. Greetings Angelica
Hello Angelica,
on the iPad it should actually work with the current operating system: open the note, tap on the share symbol and then select “Open in Pages” (here are screenshots of it). Perhaps the Notes and/or Pages app need an update first? You could check the App Store and System Preferences to see if an update is still waiting somewhere. Pages should be at version 13.1.
Otherwise I can't think of any other solution. Except to select everything, copy and paste it into Pages.
Best regards
John
Hello John. Runs. Thank you very much. After updating Pages it works now.
