Old Notes Transfer

You can migrate your notes in the Notes from your old phone to your new phone through different ways such as HONOR ID sync, Device Clone, data backup, HONOR Share, etc.

HONOR ID sync: Log in to your HONOR ID on your old phone and sync the notes data from your old phone to the cloud. Log in to the same HONOR ID on your new phone to sync the Notes data.
Device Clone:
You can use Device Clone to migrate Notes and other data from your old phone to your new one.
Data backup: By backing up via an external storage device, you can back up data to an external memory card or USB storage device and restore it in the phone's external storage after the backup is complete.
HONOR Share: Select the notes you need to share and quickly migrate them to your new phone via HONOR Share.

Notes format conversion

After migrating notes from the old phone to a new phone, if the name in the old phone is Notes, no format conversion is required. If the note name in the old phone is Notepad (old format), the new phone only supports viewing but the note can be edited after conversion to the new format.

Open Notes, tap the drop-down menu on the right side of All notes to check Old format notes.

Convert all: Open Old format notes > CONVERT ALL > CONVERT , and after conversion, Old format notes list will disappear.
Convert one by one: When opening an old-format note for the first time, there will be an instruction of Convert this note, and you can tap CONVERT. If you don’t convert the format after seeing the instruction, the note that you open only supports Delete and Convert format, not editing. You can edit it only after format conversion.
