Do you own an Android device and also have an Apple iPhone or iPad? Do you want to access your Apple Notes on your Android phone? It is frustrating to not have access to your notes across all your devices, but we’ve got you covered. In this article, we will guide you on how to view your Apple Notes on your Android device with two different methods.
Method 1: Accessing Apple Notes via the Google Chrome Browser
First, you need to sync your notes on your Apple device to iCloud. To do this, go to Settings, tap on your username, navigate to iCloud, and enable the Notes toggle. After syncing iCloud with Apple Notes:
- Launch the Chrome browser on your Android device and visit iCloud.com. Sign in using your Apple ID credentials.
- Once you are logged in, you can access and even edit, delete, or modify your notes according to your preferences.
- To quickly access your notes next time from your Android home screen, tap on the overflow icon in your Chrome browser and add a Progressive Web Application (PWA) of this page to your home screen.
Method 2: Accessing Apple Notes via Gmail
To access Apple Notes via Gmail, first, you need to add your Gmail account to your iPhone. Go to Settings, select Passwords & Accounts, and tap on Add Account. Choose Google, enter your Google account credentials, and enable the Notes toggle. After syncing Gmail with Apple Notes:
- Create a new note in your Notes app on your iPhone and save it. The new note should sync to your Gmail account.
