How to Transfer Notes from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S10/S9/S8/Note

Posted by on

If you're moving from an iPhone to a brand new Samsung Galaxy S10, the first thing you'll want to do is to transfer all your data. While there are several tools for moving data like photos, contacts, messages and so on, moving your notes to a new device that runs on a different operating system is not that easy. However, you can do it by following one of the three methods described in this article.

How to Transfer Notes from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy Using Gmail

Most iPhone users will already have a Gmail account, and this can be used to transfer notes, contacts and other data to an Android device like the Galaxy S10, S10e or S10+. The process itself is fairly simple, but you need to make sure that you're using the same Google account on both devices. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Sign into your Google account on the iPhone. If you haven't already set it up, go to your Settings app, then navigate to Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. Enter your Gmail credentials.

Step 2: Prior to adding the account, make sure that the sync option for Notes is turned on. Once the account has been added, your iPhone Notes will be available in your Google account.

Step 3: On your Galaxy S10 smartphone, add the same Google account and once again be sure to sync Notes. Once you're signed in, you should be able to access all your notes in the new device in the Gmail app.

One major security risk here is that since your data is being sent to the cloud, it can be compromised by hackers targeting your account. Google's servers themselves have robust security in place, but the data is still exposed when you send it over the Internet. It's something you should be aware of, especially if you're using a public Wi-Fi hotspot for the transfer.

How to Transfer iPhone Notes to Samsung Galaxy Phone Using iCloud

iCloud is Apple's cloud storage service, and it can be leveraged to transfer data from one device to another. The process is a little roundabout since Android isn't compatible with iCloud services like iCloud Drive, but there's a workaround you can use to move notes from an iPhone to a Galaxy S10 device using a desktop computer. Here are the steps you need to get it done:

Step 1: On your iPhone, tap on the Settings app and go to iCloud. Make sure you're signed into your iCloud account with your Apple ID and password.

Step 2: Turn on the sync option for Notes, and then tap on Storage & Backup. Once inside, tap on Back Up Now to sync your Notes to your iCloud account.

Step 3: On your desktop or laptop, go to iCloud.com and sign into your account. Make sure it's the same one that your iPhone is synced to, or this process won't work.

Step 4: Go to iCloud Notes, where you'll be able to see all your notes. More importantly, you will also be able to mail these notes using the Mail option at the top.

Step 5: Select all the notes to be transferred and email them to an account that is accessible on your Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone. On the S10, open your email and download the notes to the device. You have to copy the notes manually to Samsung Notes app so it takes lot of time doing this.
