how to stop iphone notes getting sent to gmail WITHOUT deleting them from phone One day noticed there were MILLIONS of copies of notes made on my iPhone (sometimes many copies of one note, what joy) filling up my various gmails. Found out here (thank you apple support community) that if i go into settings>mail>accounts on my iphone and toggle the 'notes' button to 'off' in each of those accounts, it will stop sending copies to my gmail, huzzah! Also that terrifying warning comes up saying all those notes will be deleted from my phone. Gack. If i Do toggle the 'notes' switch in mail accounts to 'off', will all those gmail notes disappear from my phone? If so, wtf?! Apple can you please change this?! it is a truly horrible feature.

Iphone Notes app is saving tens of thousands of copies of notes to Gmail I have my notes app attached to gmail. That's all well and good. However, I recently realized that the app isn't just saving the most recent version of a note to my gmail, it's also sending me an email for every edit I have ever done to a note. I have thousands and thousands of emails in my "all mail" box. Is there a way to make it so that it ONLY saves the most recent version to my "notes" box in gmail and to get it to stop sending me emails with every edit? Or at the least, is there a way to block these emails or make them delete after a certain period of time? Or can someone recommend to me an app that could perform similarly without the bugginess? I know there's also an option to back up to iCloud but I've never used it and I'm concerned about notes being lost in the process of switching over. How would that even work? I can't imagine that anyone would want to be sent these emails and it's obviously a bug sigh. I've seen many people ask this question, saying they're having the same problem, and not get an answer. If the link between gmail and notes is buggy, it should be fixed.

Notes are being sent to me in many emails (gmail) I have this issue that i've only just noticed lately. I use my gmail account for keeping notes on my iphone and I noticed that when I view "all mail" in my inbox I have about 20-30 consecutive emails for a single note if it's a long one. It seems to be sending an email for every word that I type and i'm guessing it's sending an email as it's auto saving the note periodically. How can I stop this from clogging up my inbox? Should I just stop using my google account to sync notes? How would I go about transferring all my notes over to "on my phone" and synced to icloud. Cheers

Smart Phones neither have the intelligence nor has the hostility. Hence we need to look at our device settings and the way we synchronise our smart phones with Mac/PC/iCloud and share our valuable data with friends and family members.

If you feel an unauthorized person is remotely controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...

Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
Don't share Apple IDs
Don't Jailbreak
Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
Don't give in to Phishing
Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls etc.

If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
