Add or remove accounts in Notes on iPad

In the Notes app , you can use multiple accounts—such as iCloud, enterprise managed iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Google, and Yahoo—and keep all your notes in one place. Your notes stay up to date on all your devices that use the same accounts. 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:
- Choose an account provider, then enter your account information.
- If your account provider isn’t listed, 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, and they’re included in your iPad backups to iCloud.

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

Remove an account

When you remove an account, the notes in that account no longer appear on your iPad. The notes remain in your internet account (for example, iCloud.com or Google) and any other devices you had already set up.

Temporarily stop using an account: Go to Settings > Notes > Accounts, tap the account, then turn off Notes.
To view the notes in that account on your iPad again, turn on Notes.
Delete an account: Go to Settings > Notes > Accounts, tap the account, then tap Sign Out (for an iCloud account) or Delete Account (for other accounts).
If you don’t see Sign Out or Delete Account, your account may be managed by your organization. See an administrator for removal instructions.
