Unable to move Notes on my iPhone to iCloud

I was having trouble moving notes from “On my iPhone” to “iCloud.” I saw other people having the same problem and there were no solutions.


I tried dragging folders to iCloud in the “Folders” page which didn’t work, and I tried moving selected notes to iCloud folders but they were greyed out.


Then I made a new folder in “On my iPhone” and moved the notes I wanted into that folder. I clicked the three dots in the new folder and clicked “Convert to Smart Folder,” and an error message popped up saying that it couldn’t be converted because I had a locked note.


Once I unlocked the note, I was able to move my notes to iCloud!


I am hoping this will help someone having the same issue.


I particularly wanted to reply to @madirmur59 but the thread can no longer be replied to.
