Sticky Notes in Windows 11 is a great app for keeping everything organized, whether you're at home or at work. If you want to jot down notes anywhere, anytime, you aren't limited to using Windows Sticky Notes on your PC.
This guide explores how to use Windows Sticky Notes across all your devices, whether you're an Android or iOS user or working in a web browser.
How to Get Started With Windows 11 Sticky Notes on a PC
Sticky Notes is a great app for quick notes and important reminders. Best of all, there's nothing to download - Sticky Notes comes preinstalled on every Windows 11 computer. To open Sticky Notes on Windows 11:
- Click the Windows Search bar or use the keyboard shortcut Windows + Q.
- Search for “Sticky Notes”, then click the app in the search results.
By default, the app opens a single sticky note. You can add another one at any time by clicking the plus button in the top left corner. To see your earlier sticky notes, click the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu, then select Notes List.
Although it's a basic note-taking app, it offers plenty of ways to style your notes. On the formatting ribbon at the bottom, you can format text with bold, italics, or strikethrough. There's also an option to toggle bullet points, which is perfect for making quick lists.
If you use Windows Sticky Notes often, you may want to have Sticky Notes open at startup on Windows 11.
How to Set Up Sync in Windows Sticky Notes
To sync your sticky notes across all your devices, you first need to sign in with your Microsoft account. This step syncs your notes to the cloud and connects them to other Microsoft services you may need later. Here's how to set up sync for your Sticky Notes:
- Click the three dots in the top right corner of Sticky Notes to open the menu.
- Select Notes List.
- Click the settings icon, then click Sign in.
If you run into any problems, there are several fixes you can try when Sticky Notes isn't syncing on Windows 11.
How to Use Windows Sticky Notes on iOS Devices
Instead of offering a separate Sticky Notes app, Microsoft includes Windows Sticky Notes as part of the Microsoft OneNote app. This lesser-known OneNote feature suits people who already have experience with OneNote, though anyone can pick it up easily.
You can access Windows Sticky Notes on your iOS device by following the steps below:
- Go to the App Store and search for Microsoft OneNote.
- Once it's installed, sign in with your Microsoft account.
- In the bottom right corner of the home page, tap Sticky Note.
To create a new note, tap the plus icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. You'll then see a screen similar to the Sticky Notes app for Windows, including text formatting options. One handy tool is the camera button, which lets you upload a photo from your camera or your iOS photo library.
How to Use Windows Sticky Notes on Android Devices
You can view your sticky notes on Android, too. Windows Sticky Notes is available in the Microsoft OneNote app for Android, though it's a little harder to find. Here's how to get to your sticky notes on an Android device:
- Go to the Google Play Store and search for Microsoft OneNote.
- Download and open the app, then sign in with your Microsoft account.
On the home page, you'll see a mix of Sticky Notes and text notes from OneNote. To see only your sticky notes, you need to filter the results. Tap the Sort & Filter button on the left side of the top banner. Under the Note Type heading, select Sticky Notes, then select Apply. You can also sort your notes by date created, date edited, or alphabetical order.
To create a new sticky note, tap the three dots in the bottom right corner of the home page. Then tap Create a Sticky Note. The app includes many of the standout options found on iOS, including a photo upload tool. You can change a note's color by tapping the three dots in the top right corner. From the same menu, you can also tap the Export button to share a sticky note with friends.
How to Use Windows Sticky Notes With Microsoft Launcher
Another way to use Windows Sticky Notes on Android is through Microsoft Launcher. This sleek launcher has many features that boost your productivity, and it's a must-have for Android users who own a PC.
With Microsoft Launcher, you can view your sticky notes almost directly from the home screen. Just swipe left from the home screen to open your feed.
At the bottom of the list is the Windows Sticky Notes widget, which lets you view and create notes. If you can't see the widget, scroll to the bottom of your feed, then tap the Edit this view button. Check the box next to Sticky Notes to add the widget to your feed.
Because you're using a widget on the launcher, syncing may take a little longer than it does in the app. However, you can sync your sticky notes manually at any time by tapping the three dots in the top right corner of the widget and choosing Sync.
How to Use Sticky Notes Online
You can also edit Windows Sticky Notes on the web. To combine note-taking with your planning needs, Microsoft has integrated Windows Sticky Notes with Microsoft Outlook.
Make sure you're signed in to your Microsoft account. From there, you can open Windows Sticky Notes directly in Outlook, or you can sign in to Outlook and go to the dedicated Notes tab. You'll find it in the Folders drop-down menu in the sidebar. For faster access to your Sticky Notes, click the star icon next to the Notes heading to add it to your favorites.
