Notes not syncing between your phone and computer
Make sure your notes are saved to your cloud account (iCloud, Google, or Microsoft) and not to 'On My Phone'. Turn on sync for notes in your account settings. On iPhone: Settings → [Your name] → iCloud → turn on 'Notes'. On Android: open Google Keep — it syncs automatically.
Notes sync through your cloud account. ICloud for Apple Notes, Google for Google Keep, Microsoft for OneNote. If notes aren't showing on all devices, sync is off, notes are saved locally, or you're using different accounts. Turning on sync and making sure notes go to your cloud account fixes it.
- ✓Check that notes sync is turned on in your account settings
- ✓Make sure notes are saved to your cloud account, not 'On My Phone' or 'On My Mac'
- ✓Check that you're signed in to the same account on all devices
