Notes instant sync on iOS

Hi there,

When I edit or add a new note on my Macbook, it doesn't get synced on iOS instantly. I have to manually open the Notes app on my iPhone and wait a few seconds to see updated content. I find iCloud sync of Notes between OS X and iOS a bit annoying, because sometimes when I travel I don't have mobile data enabled. Both my iPhone and Macbook are connected to the hotel's wifi. I make some notes on where I want to go on my Macbook, close the laptop and leave it in the hotel room and just go out. I have my iPhone in my pocket, haven't opened the Notes app. I go out and lose the WiFi signal from the hotel once I get out -- that means I won't see the recent changes in notes on my iPhone, until I connect to the internet somewhere.

Is there any settings to improve that? Is it all of you experiencing that? In my opinion it should work as iMessage - when someone sends a message, you get it immediately, not after you open the iMessage app manually!

Thanks!

iMac, null
