"obviously" = все видят, что это правда "evidently" , "apparently" = Это больше похоже на мнение, но мы также используем его, чтобы описать то, что произошло. Например: "Apparently, I forgot to charge my phone." or "Evidently, the criminal fell asleep in his car and was caught." These words are often interchangeable, but this is how I separate them in my mind. Good luck!

Hello! These words have very similar meanings. I would say "apparently" is the softest one, because it means the same as "seemingly". I could say: "Apparently she's got a new job now.", which means that it seems she has a new job, but we can't be fully sure it's true or not, it just seems like that. I think "evidently" and "obviously" are synonyms, but "obviously" is much more commonly used and it's more colloquial. I don't think people use "evidently" in normal conversations. If we take the previous example, for contrast, and we say "Obviously/evidently she's got a new job now." it means that we are 100% sure that she has a new job, while when we said "apparently" we were only guessing. I hope to have helped you!
