How to add, edit and delete accounts in the Notes app on our iPhone, iPad or Mac

The Notes app on our iPhone, iPad or Mac is far more capable than meets the eye. Options for formatting, creating lists, editing folders for filtering content to scan, the app is full of functionality. And one of the most important to sync with accounts so that our notes are available on all devices.

Before we get started …

The most common way to sync notes is to use our Apple account. The reason in particular be able to secure notes using encryption and password so that we can only access them. This feature is only available when the note is synced with our Apple account. However, if note security is secondary, we can use other accounts to sync notes.

When we use Google accounts, Exchange, Hotmail, etc., notes, in addition to syncing with all of our Apple devices, can also be synced Android phones or Windows computers.
