Reverse Syncing from Gmail notes to iOS

Hello,

I am using the default notes application on my iPhone 4. I had switched to Android for a month and bought Gnotes in Google play store and created lot of notes and it synced with the same notes in my gmail account as it did before on my iOS5. Recently when i switched back to iOS6 the notes i created on my gmail is not syncing back onto my iPhone.

Although all the new notes i am creating on iPhone are getting synced to my gmail account but older ones are not downloaded on iPhone. Any tips to get it back ? Worst thing, i will write them again on my iPhone.

iPhone 4

Gmail don't really sync your notes with iphone. Just send the notes from iphone to a specific label called "notes" in your Gmail Account. Is a one-way "sync".

You can copy and paste your notes (one by one) from Gmail to iCloud notes. Open one tab with gmail on your browser and one tab in www.icloud.com. If we talking about 10-50 notes it is worth your time.

Thanks man... it did help me mostly. Although i had to manually copy paste from Gmail to iCloud.com and it came on my phone but it didn't sync both the notes from Gmail as well as iCloud so its either Gmail or iCloud. But this is still good and better than manually writing it 🙂

Appreciate your help.

Yes, its Gmail or iCloud. But iCloud really syncs. Gmail is one-way only. Is your desktop a Mac?
