Notes app in iOS is a powerful tool that contains useful features. I use this app on a daily basis for making checklists, taking notes, and jotting down my thoughts. In fact, I must insist that it should be on our list of must-have apps on any phone. Thanks to the Apple ecosystem, these notes synchronize with other Apple devices seamlessly so that you can access the notes from any device.
But occasionally, I want to access the notes from a non-Apple device; that’s where it gets tricky. To view them on other devices, you can go to iCloud Notes from any browser and sign in with your Apple ID. From there, all notes can be accessed, but not everyone is a fan of accessing notes from their browser.
In this quick guide, I’m showing you another method to access iPhone notes from a non-Apple device with the help of Gmail. You can use the Gmail app on your non-Apple device’s phone or even on the web to access iPhone notes.

Any type of notes created under this section will display in your Gmail.
