Transfer the notes written on your iOS device to your new Android smartphone.
You’ve gotten into the habit of taking notes from the app Notes on your iPhone and wish you could find them on your Android device?
Depending on the settings applied on your iOS device, you will more or less easily find your precious writings on your Android smartphone. Your iPhone may already be natively configured to sync your notes with your Google account. However, be aware that these are only accessible from the application Gmail, within the file Notes present in the navigation column on the left. As it is, your notes materialize in the form of an e-mail, which can be viewed as a message, without however being able to edit it.
On both Android and iOS, native note-taking apps don’t make it easy to transfer notes from one platform to another.
Or Google keep, nor Apple Notes do not offer options to export or import existing writings. However, there is a way to transfer notes from iPhone to Android smartphone in just a few steps.
1. Download Google Keep
To perform the following operation, you will need to install the Google Keep application which is none other than Google’s note-taking application.
Available on both iOS and Android, you will need to install it on both devices to transfer notes from the iOS application of the same name. Open the app and connect the same Google account to it on iOS and Android.
Download Google Keep for Android (Free)
Download Google Keep for iPhone (Free)
2. Copy the notes to Keep
From iPhone, open the Notes app, open one of your notes, and hit the share button.
Yes Google keep does not appear in the first row of options, press Other, activate Google keep and possibly move up its position in the options. Confirm by pressing OK.
Then tap Google Keep, make sure the Google sync account is selected, and tap Publish.
As Google does not offer any option to import existing notes on its application, you will have no choice but to proceed manually to send each of your notes to Google keep.
Repeat as many times as you have iOS Notes to transfer to Android.
3. Open Google Keep on Android
If you have shared all the iOS notes in Google keep on your iPhone, they should automatically sync with your Google account. Run Google keep on your Android smartphone. If the option is offered to you, press Refresh to refresh the account synchronized on Google keep.
You should now see all the notes from your iPhone appear – instantly – on your Android smartphone.
