I purchased new iphone 15 pro max and transferred iphone 14 pro max data onto the new one.

Some of the information from Notes app have not been transferred. i checked in my icloud and the data is there.

You checked on iCloud.com and you saw that you have extra notes that have not been transferred yet?


If this is the case, I would try to leave the Notes app open, maybe write something in a note just to stimulate a sync dialogue between the two. I would leave it open for a bit in order to see if it will resume the download.

If your iPhone is still downloading data from your backup, it might take a while depending on how much content you need to download and the speed of your internet connection.


For some reason, even if I have the background refresh activated, Notes don't always update if I don't leave it open, especially if there is a lot of content to update.
