Add or remove accounts in Notes on iPad

In the Notes app , you can keep your notes from multiple accounts in one place. Store your notes in iCloud and keep them up to date on all your devices. Add other internet accounts—for example, Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft Exchange. You can also have an On My iPad account for notes you keep only on this device.

Note: All Notes features described in this guide are available when you use iCloud and the On My iPad account. Some features aren’t available when using other accounts.

Keep your notes up to date on all your devices with iCloud

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Notes.

Your iCloud notes—and any changes you make to them—appear on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac where you’re signed in with your Apple ID.

Add other accounts

Go to Settings > Notes > Accounts > Add Account.
Do one of the following:
- Tap a service—for example, Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft Exchange—then enter your account information.
- Tap Other, tap Add Mail Account, enter your email account information, then turn on Notes for that account.

Set up an On My iPad account

Notes in this account appear only on your iPad. Your notes in iCloud and other accounts aren’t affected.

Go to Settings > Notes, then turn on “On My iPad” Account.
