How do you create hyperlinks in Samsung notes?

I know how to use them in 'reading mode', but I want to create links myself within my own pages/pdf's

All you really have to do is type the URL in a note and Samsung Notes should recognize it as a link on its own. You don't have to include prefixes https:// or even www. For example instead of https://www.google.com/ you can just enter google.com and it will be recognized as a link. Make sure the Show links in notes option is turned on for this to work.

Alternatively, you can share a link from another app (like a web browser) to the Samsung Notes app and it will try to parse the link to fetch the site's icon, title & description. This type of link appears as an object that can be anchored to a text. It can be resized but customization options are very limited. Make sure the Show web previews option is turned on for this to work.

Thanks, but if I create several pages of pdf's how do I link them to each other?
Say for like a manual, I will have 7 pages all with different pdfs? How do I link them to each other?

Unfortunately, what you're describing is outside the scope of what Samsung Notes is capable of to my knowledge. There is no way to reference or link to specific sections of a note or page from within the Notes app itself, though if you import a PDF that is already able to do this, it seems to work just fine.

You'll need more advance software to do what you want, like Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat.

This is exactly what I was looking for as well. And to be honest surprised that we cannot do it but in that case it's a feature waiting to happen, ie, be able to create links/hyperlinks between notes and also be able to annotate pdf's with links/hyperlinks.

Could this be added to the log of features requested by users. Would really appreciate it.

Wondering if you found any good workaround to create links between notes

You need a 3rd party like Adobe Acrobat DC

Thanks. I didn't realize I could just share to an existing note.

I don't understand. You seem to know thigs.

All I want to do is link one word in a note to another word in a different note to jump from a certain spot in a note to note to a certain spot in another note.

Can it be done? How?

Thank you so much for your help

DOES NOT WORK! I have "Show links in notes" checked and it doesn't work! I tried adding www and https and it STILL doesn't work!

Thanks. Came here looking for the same answer, but I see Samsung still hasn't answered/added feature yet. The other options is to use another Note Taking app altogether that have the feature such as Penly, JNotes, GoodNotes etc. Not sure why Samsung Notes hasn't gotten onboard yet.

i just started pressing buttons to see what would happen and by luck, i touched the "open book" icon at the top of one of my Samsung Notes pages and VIOLA! ... the links turned on!

I use to just click.on the Share icon, then Samsung Notes to save a webpage to my notes. Now it shares but the hyperlink is too long and won't re-open
I want to know why it's changed and how to put it back to how it was

Burlington-There is a way to do it but it includes an additional step. I downloaded the Bitly:Connections Platform Android app to my phone. Then click your desired Share link and copy it to the Bitly app. It will create a shortened link and then you can save it to Samsung Notes. Once it's copied and pasted, just click the Reading Notes icon on the top and the link becomes live. Hopefully Samsung will fix this issue soon. But in the meantime at least there is a work-around. Hope this helps.

Hypertext links only work if they're not in a textbox.

If we type a word or have an image and then I highlight/select it, I don't see a menu option to make that word a hyperlink to take me to another page or section.

On the other hand, Samsung works well (in Reading Mode as previously stated) if documents ALREADY have hyperlinks and you import that document into Samsung Notes. I don't have an issue there.

I'm waiting on Samsung to give us the feature to CREATE a hyperlink within our own document/note and not by a product that we have purchased.

I think Many of us are waiting on Samsung to give us the ability to CREATE a hyperlink WITHOUT having to use a workaround.
