Hello, I'm an active user of Notes and save a lot of useful information there. I want to be sure that everything is saved and I won't loose any information. Could you, please, explain me how to move notes from iPhone to iCloud?

Regards, Sarah

Seems like an easy task, doesn't it? Well, Apple is known for making easy things more complicated than they deserve to be. And this is one of them. So, if you are to save iPhone notes to iCloud, simply syncing them with iCloud would not be enough. The notes created before synchronization will stay saved only on the device, while all the new ones, created after synchronization, will be saved to your iCloud account. What? – Yup, you've read that right!

So, we here at CopyTrans embarked on a mission to help humanity back up notes to iCloud. For this we empowered our CopyTrans Contacts unit to have new abilities. Please welcome!

The iPhone notes created prior to enabling iCloud Sync, remain locally on the iPhone under an account called "On My iPhone", or just under account "Notes" in the latest iOS versions.

To access the "On My iPhone" notes account, simply open the Notes app and tap on "Notes" under "On My iPhone".
