why are there notes just on iPhone but others in iCloud?

really that's the question. In notes app on phone, I can put some notes in a folder just on the phone, or in a folder in the cloud? why? and can I import notes on phone into notes in iCloud?

Hey spdoherty,


I understand that you've noticed that your Notes are partially on iCloud and partially just on the iPhone itself. It sounds like you may not have had iCloud Notes enabled when you first started using Notes; in this situation, Notes will be stored directly on your iPhone. It's likely that you later enabled Notes in your iCloud settings, and then new Notes would have been stored in the iCloud folder.

Have a nice day.
