How to move local iPhone notes to iCloud

I was unable to move local notes into iCloud because all of the iCloud folders were grayed out. I saw many others were having this same problem. After much research, I read a post elsewhere stating that "locked" notes could not be moved. So, after unlocking my notes, problem was solved!! I was easily able to transfer all of them!! Hope this helps someone else!

How do I move notes from “on my iphone” to iCloud? I have an iPhone 14 iOS 17.5.1 I recently realized that my notes app is only syncing about 40 of my 940 notes. I did some searching on the forum here and found one little tidbit indicating that I needed to have iCloud selected as the default account. I changed that setting. However, there doesn’t appear to be any way to move all those notes to the iCloud account. When I click select notes, move all the only option that appears is a new folder in the same “on my iPhone” account. Nothing is clickable in the iCloud account folder. Is there an easy solution?

How do I move Notes from All on My iPhone to iCloud I've had iCloud enabled on my iPhone and on my Mac for months, and just realized I have several notes on my iPhone that are not on my Mac - they are in a folder on my iPhone called All on My iPhone. I want to move those Notes to iCloud. On my iPhone, I went into the All on my iPhone folder, tapped Move All and a screen appeared showing several folders to choose from, but none of those were the iCloud folder. Any suggestions on how to move these notes and how to prevent accidentally creating any new Notes that are stored only on my iPhone? Thanks for any advice.
