Import samsung notes from the phone

If you want to uninstall your samsung notes or bought a new phone and wants to import all your samsung notes to the new phone or your old phone, I recommend you to create a new folder in your phone internal storage and save all the Samsung notes inside the folder.

Getting started.

Open your phone and locate the internal storage or SD card. Now you have to create a new folder and name the folder samsung notes or any of your preferred names and save the folder.

Open the Samsung notes app and select all the entire notes files in the app and tap on the three vertical line button.

Sync with samsung cloud. 

Tapping on the option menu gives you list of options and which includes save as file. Tap on the save as file and select samsung notes file.

If you select any other file format you can’t import the Samsung notes into the notes app unless you will have open the files one after the other using the samsung notes app and afterwards save the notes files on the notes app.

To save yourself from this type of long process, kindly save the notes as samsung notes file.
