One of the ways to save notes on a samsung phone is by simply using the default samsung notes app unless you have better options like the Microsoft onenote, Evernote and others.
It’s so easy saving notes on the Samsung notes app and that’s why I love the app along with the interface and other features of the notes app.
Looking at the question being asked about the Samsung notes app ” if i uninstall samsung notes will i lose everything” and when I saw it online I picked it up so as to give you the best answer you are looking for.
Now let’s proceed further.
If i uninstall samsung notes will i lose everything?
You won’t lose everything if you uninstall samsung notes app unless you didn’t synchronize the notes with your samsung account or save in your phone internal storage or SD card.
Before I came up with this post I had to run a test so as to be very sure that truly no files or notes will be lost when someone uninstall the Samsung notes app from it’s samsung phone or android phone.
However, there are more to this.
You will lose everything if you synchronize your samsung notes to your samsung account or save the notes to your phone internal storage or SD card.
MY RESEARCH AND TEST RESULT
First, I had to uninstall samsung notes app without synchronizing the notes to my samsung account or saving them to my phone or SD card. When I uninstalled the app and reinstalled back to my phone I was surprised to see everything was deleted and I couldn’t retrieve the notes.
I had to create new notes and this time around had th synchronized to my samsung account and also saved the notes straight to my phone internal storage.
For the second time I had to uninstall the Samsung notes app on my samsung phone. When I uninstalled and reinstalled the app back to my samsung phone, it seemed I lost everything but that wasn’t the case.
I had to open my phone internal storage storage and tap on the saved samsung notes, lo and behold all the notes showed up in the Samsung notes app. I also had to retrieve the remaining notes from my samsung account and all the notes appeared on the Samsung notes app just like it was before I uninstalled it.
From my research, as long as you have synchronized your samsung notes with your samsung account, you shouldn’t bother yourself asking if i uninstall samsung notes will i lose everything because you won’t lose anything.
How to synchronize samsung notes
To synchronize samsung notes with your samsung cloud account, open the Samsung note app and tap on the hamburger menu. Tap on setting followed by tapping on sync with samsung cloud and make sure to enable it on your phone.
This is nothing but an initial explanation as let me go in details on how synchronize samsung notes with samsung cloud and Microsoft onenote.
SYNCHRONIZING SAMSUNG NOTES TO SAMSUNG CLOUD
Open the Samsung notes app and tap on the hamburger option menu located at the left corner of your screen.
Kindly tap on the hamburger option menu and look at the top you will see the settings icon. Tap on the settings icon and you will see two options which are;
- Sync with samsung cloud
- Sync to Microsoft onenote
Tap on Sync with samsung cloud and enable it by sliding on the button. Still on the screen you will have to tap on Syn now and immediately you Samsung notes will start to synchronize with your samsung cloud account.
If you are using a mobile data for your internet connectivity please kindly tap on sync using and select Wi-Fi or mobile data instead of Wi-Fi. You can only select Wi-Fi if you are using a Wi-Fi for your internet activity.
Once you have done all these things your samsung notes with start to synchronize with the Samsung cloud and depending on the total size of your notes, it will synchronize the notes or files withing few minutes.

SYNCHRONIZING SAMSUNG NOTES TO MICROSOFT ONENOTE
Another way to save your samsung notes is by synchronizing them Microsoft onenote and the best part is that you can read your notes online.
However, you may have it a hard time synchronizing your samsung notes to Microsoft onenote as it took me some quite number of times to finally have it done.
First, you must have a Microsoft account and will have to sign into the account.
Open tthe Samsung notes app, tap on the left hamburger option menu and tap on the settings icon. This time tap on Sync to Microsoft onenote and make sure it is enabled on your samsung notes app.
Tap on Sync now and your samsung notes will be synchronized to Microsoft onenote within seconds or minutes depending on their file size.
Once again remember that if you are on a cellular data, you have to select sync using Wi-Fi and mobile data. It is very important to do this else nothing will work.

Moving onto the last method.
Saving samsung notes in the internal storage or SD card
This is another method to restore your samsung notes when you uninstall and reinstall the app back to your phone.
In this scenario you will have to save all your notes as a samsung notes or any other file formats like pdf, text, word, etc in order to have them restored back to your samsung notes app.
To get started, first create a new folder in your phone internal storage or SD card and name it samsung notes files or any name of your choice. Open the Samsung notes app and select all the notes in the app.
To do so, press hold on any of the notes and then select the entire notes, look below and you will see a hamburger option menu at the right lower of your screen.
Tap on the hamburger option menu and tap on save as file. A list of savings options will be displayed to you and they are;
- Samsung notes file
- Pdf file
- Microsoft Word file
- Microsoft PowerPoint file
- Image file
- Text file
For me I prefer to save the files as samsung notes files as it will be a lot easier to restore the files back to the app. But you can also save in other file formats and have them uploaded to the app afterwards.
Tap on any of your file formats and select the location where you want them to be saved. Once you have saved the notes files, you can go ahead and uninstall the Samsung app on your samsung phone or android phone.
Once you reinstalled the app back to your phone, go to where you saved the notes files and tap on the notes, immediately they will be restored back to your samsung notes app.
That is to say all the notes will be right inside the Samsung notes app. So this is another way to save your samsung notes files instead of synchronizing them though I prefer to synchronizing them as it is way better and easie easier for me.
With all these explained in this article you can see that you won’t lose anything once you save synchronize your samsung notes files with your samsung cloud or Microsoft onenote, or saved them in your phone internal storage or SD card.
