2. Transfer Notes from iPhone to Mac with Email

Now, here in this step, you would be able to get the complete note to your Mac using the help of an E-mail like Gmail, Yahoo or whichever email service you use. So, the steps are:

Open the Notes app on your iPhone.

Open the note that you want to share through email.

Click on the share option now from the top right corner.

Choose the Mail option.

Enter or select the mail you want to share the note with.

After you press the send option on the mail application then just after a few seconds you can use the same account and access the notes that you want. You can use any email platform like Gmail, Yahoo, Rediffmail or any other mail service that you are using

3. Import Notes from iPhone to Mac with Airdrop

The step is easy and would not even take more than a minute to transfer your notes to the Mac from your iPhone. The Airdrop app must be pre-installed on your iPhone and should be kept updated for better benefits. It is just that you have to turn ON the Airdrop services beforehand on both of your devices i.e. iPhone and Mac. After that you should try the steps below:

Open the notes app on your iPhone.

Now, choose the note that you want to share.

Click on the share option from the top-right corner.

Now, a pop-up will appear with all sharing options including Airdrop.
Click on the Mac device you want to share the note with.

Now, on your Mac, a pop-up will ask you to accept or decline to receive the file.

Click on Accept and you will receive the file.

Hence, you have received your note on your Mac using the Airdrop option and you can make the best use of it. The Airdrop shared one file at a time when the last time I used it and so, would recommend you to opt for the iCloud method if it still has the same feature and you want the sync to happen at a faster rate.
