Google Keep is not the default notes app for many Android brands. Each Android brand has its own notes app. These apps might appear similar but are very different. This turns out to become a significant issue when trying to transfer notes to another Android device.

If you are wondering about your older notes, you can quickly transfer them to Google Keep. The steps for moving notes to Google Keep are following:

Step 1: Once you have installed Google Keep on your Android phone, open the default notes app. Here, select the notes you want to move to Google Keep.

Step 2: When you have selected the note, press the "Share" button and choose Google Keep from the option to move it. Once all the notes are moved, ensure that you have synced the Google Keep with your Google Account.

Part 2: Transfer Notes From Android to Android via Official Transfer Apps

We have mentioned above that most Android brands have their own Notes apps. They also provide official data transfer apps which can be used to transfer notes from Android to Android. Below we have discussed the detailed process of moving notes to Samsung and Huawei.

Method 1: How To Transfer Notes From Android to Android via Smart Switch

Smart Switch is Samsung's official phone transfer app. It is recommended when transferring data between two Samsung devices or switching to a Samsung device. Smart Switch can be used by following these steps:

Step 1: Install the Smart Switch app on both your devices and open it. On the source device, tap "Send Data" and select "Receive Data" on the new device. Afterward, select the OS of your old device to continue. Choose the "Wireless" option on both devices to establish the connection.
