Is it possible when typing straight into iPad to insert a hyperlink? By this I mean not using notes or any other app, just typical g straight from iPad to this forum. Also, can you do it when using your email on the iPad?

Yes - the iPad will interpret anything it thinks is a valid URL as a hyperlink - usually when followed by a carriage return. Try cutting and pasting a URL from the Safari menu bar after you've visited a website and see the format that is used.



for example

BBC - Homepage

Hi Tim

It did work once I hit the send button, just didn't look like one whilst typing.
Thank you very much.

One way I use to check if I've got the link correct is to use the post preview function after I finish the message. The links do show up that way and then you can see if they are right.

How do i insert a hyperlink on my i pad

AFAIK, you have to type in the full hyperlink. You can't highlight text and associate a hyperlink with it like you can on a Mac.
