On iOS 15 beta 2, and macos 12 beta 8 I am seeing a problem where a note in the Notes app cannot be shared wth the Messages app. This used to work and gave an option to have a link to the specific note in a reminder.

Has this feature been deprecated that I've completely missed in any documentation or is it a bug?

Thanks
 
I'm not on the iOS beta anymore, but it works to share a Note with both Messages and Reminders in iOS 15. It also works to share with both Messages and Reminders in macOS 12 beta 8. I just tested this and there weren't any problems.

Could you give more details? Are you not seeing either of those apps in the share menu? Are those apps enabled in the share menu settings?

New update - the issue only seems to happen for existing notes. New notes seem to work.

Thanks for testing it out. I'll file an issue with Feedback Assistant

I can do it with existing. I didn't test with a new note.

Mystery solved - the Reminders option is not avaialble when there are embeeded attachments such as pdfs in the note. Now whether that something that is broken in this beta or not is yet to be determined. I'll check on an iOS 15.0.1 device later.

Good find! On my iphone with iOS 15 (no beta) I created a new Note with an embedded PDF and was able to share in a Message, but not a Reminder. Hope that helps a little.
Edit: ah, there's the 15.0.1 update; now I see it.
