How to turn off hyperlinks in Notes in iOS so you don't accidentally click them?

after you paste a URL in Notes, is there a way to have the hyperlink(?) turned off so you don't click it by accident and be taken to the webpage? It'd be nice if the URL can be there just as pure text.


Solution 1:

At least for iOS 11.2 the following works:

  1. Select the text you want to unlink (or position the cursor “inside” it or directly before or after it)

  2. Switch to the format keyboard (not the format tool-tip):

    format keyboard

  3. Click “Body” twice on format keyboard:

    format keyboard

Solution 2:

Go to Edit then Substitutions and uncheck Smart Links
