Sync/Recover (Deleted) iPhone Notes to Mac
We share 6 ways to backup notes from iPhone to Mac. Not only the existing notes, but the deleted notes can be moved from iPhone to Mac.
Step 1 Turn on Notes sync on Mac
On your Mac, run "System Preferences" > "iCloud" > Enter your iCloud account and password (the same iCloud account that you use on iPhone) > Click the box next to Notes from the list of "applications to sync".
Step 2 Sync notes from iPhone to Mac via iCloud
On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "iCloud" > Log in iCloud account > Slide on "Notes".
Then your notes on iPhone will be synced to Mac automatically when you connect your iPhone to WLAN to make iCloud backup.
Tip
