Method 1: View Apple Notes on Android Using Web Browser App

In this method, you can open the web version of iCloud by going toiCloud.comthrough the Chrome browser. Sign in with your Apple account and tap on Notes. You should see all your iCloud Notes. However, if you want to access the notes regularly, opening the website repeatedly wouldn’t be apt. You can create a home screen shortcut to the website on your Android device. Doing so will open the iCloud in a separate window and with just one tap.

Here are the steps in detail. We have divided into two sections: open iCloud Notes on Chrome and create a shortcut.

Step 1:OpenSettings > Profile name > iCloud > Show All > Notes > Sync this iPhone.

Step 2:On your Android device, launch the Chrome browser and openiCloud.com.

Step 3:Sign in using your Apple ID and then check the box next toKeep me signed inif you will use the Apple Notes app frequently on your Android. The interface will ask whether you want to trust this device. Tap onTrust.

Step 4:Tap onNotes inside iCloud. Your iCloud Notes are now accessible from Android. Tap on any note to open and edit it. You can even create new notes.

You can now tap the shortcut for Apple Notes on your Android home screen.

When you open Apple Notes like this, you will notice that the window doesn’t have a search bar. Moreover, if you open the Recent apps screen, you will find the iCloud Notes web app there.

For the unaware, that happens because the web app for Apple Notes is a Progressive Web App (PWA).PWAs work like a regular appand offer faster experience. You can install PWAs on Chrome in Windows and Microsoft Edge as well.

Method 2: View Apple Notes on Android Using Gmail

If the above method doesn’t work properly, you can access Apple Notes from within Gmail as well. However, the editing capability is missing in Gmail. So you can only view the notes. But that should suffice if you desperately want to get the iCloud Notes on an Android device somehow. Refer our guide onhow to view Apple Notes in Gmail.
