Method 5 How to Copy Samsung Notes to New Phone via Quick Share

You can also use Quick Share to transfer one or a few Samsung notes to your new Android phone. Quick Share is a wireless data transfer utility originally developed by Samsung Electronics. The feature was previously called Nearby Share. Thus, if you still find Nearby Share on your device, Quick Share will still work.

The feature is available on Android 6+ devices. It will let you transfer pictures, videos, and files instantly with your friends.

Here are the detailed steps to move notes from Android to Android with Quick Share:

  1. Open the note you wish to share.
  2. Tap the Share icon and then choose Quick Share. Ensure the device you want to share with is nearby.
  3. Tap the phone you wish to share notes with. If you can't find the phone, ensure it has set up "Who can share with you" and its screen is unlocked.
  4. On the target device, choose who can share with you:
    • Your devices. The option allows your device to be visible to other devices with the same Google Account. That is, even when the screen is turned off.
    • Contacts. Your phone is visible to your nearby contacts. The screen must be on and unlocked.
    • Everyone. Anyone nearby can see your device while the screen is on and unlocked.
    • Only for 10 minutes. Your visibility will automatically go back to your previous selection after 10 minutes. That helps to protect your privacy.
  5. Wait for the other phone to accept your sharing request, and the process will begin. During the transfer, you can leave the screen, and the process will continue.
  6. You can tap more than one device to select multiple receivers. However, simultaneous sharing only works on selected device models. Otherwise, transfers will be queued. Receivers selected later will get the transfer request when previous transfers are concluded.
  7. On the target device, wait for a pop-up notification that tells you who's trying to share notes with you. Select Accept, as shown in the example image below.
