What's that pesky yellow tab-like line in apple notes for?

It sometimes appears when you import a photo into apple notes. You can sometime select and move it down but cant get rid of it.

Hi Philkew999,


Thanks for posting your question about Notes in iPadOS here on Apple Support communities. While we're not positive of the yellow tab-like line you are referring to, it does sound it may be the "Take action" line that appears.


Found in Take notes on iPad in the iPad User Guide has details about this feature:


Take action on addresses, phone numbers, dates, and more
In your notes, a yellow underline appears below text that’s recognized as a street or email address, phone number, date, or other data. Tap the underlined text to take action on it. For example, you can see a street address in Maps, compose an email, call a phone number, or add a calendar event.

Note: Data detection is available when the system language of your iPad is set to a supported language in Settings  > General > Language & Region. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website.


If this doesn't answer your question, or you don't find the answer on this page, let us know more specifically what you are seeing and where it's found on the screen.



Take care!
