My NOTES app on my iPad doesn't have a "Device" folder--just "Cloud."

Hi Chanc2g,

Thanks for keeping us updated.

So we do want to make you aware that what you're seeing is expected behavior. You would only see the "On My iPad" section if you don't have your notes synced with an iCloud or any other email account; however, since you stated that you're not trying to use another device, even if you're offline you should still be able to access the notes created on your iPad. This should only affect notes that are synced to your iPad from another device.

With that being said, you can turn off any accounts you may have set up to sync your notes to by going into Settings > Notes > Accounts. Check out this link for more details: Add or remove accounts in Notes on iPad - Apple Support

We hope that's able to help.

Cheers!

Hey there Chanc2g,

It sounds like you're trying to possibly get notes from another device to also appear on your iPad. If that's the case, you would need to have your notes synced/backed up from the original device. While iCloud is one of the main ways to sync this data, you might be able to find third party options to sync notes with.

If you decide to use iCloud after looking into your options, you'll want to reference the link below for guidance:

Should you need help with something else or have issues with the notes on your iPad, feel free to provide those details in a reply.

Take care!

Go to Settings>Notes>”On My iPad” Account>On. That will create the On My iPad section in Notes.

I use iCloud Notes and On My iPad Notes at the same time without issue.
