A family of Microsoft products that enable users to capture, organize, and reuse notes electronically.
On Android, Sticky Notes are not a separate app; they are integrated into the OneNote mobile app and surface as part of the OneNote experience.
For Android phones, Sticky Notes appear in OneNote and are accessed from the bottom-right Sticky Notes entry point. The documentation and examples explicitly describe this behavior for “Android phone” and do not list a separate Sticky Notes app for Android tablets. The same guidance applies: Sticky Notes are available only where the OneNote mobile client exposes the Sticky Notes view.
If the OneNote build on a specific Android tablet (such as Galaxy Tab S10+) does not show the Sticky Notes icon or entry point, that tablet build does not currently expose the Sticky Notes feature. In that case:
- Ensure the same Microsoft account is used that works on Windows and the Android phone, because Sticky Notes sync is account-based.
- Confirm that the latest OneNote app from Google Play is installed.
- If Sticky Notes still do not appear on the tablet while they do appear on the Android phone and Windows devices, this indicates a platform/build limitation rather than a configuration issue; there is no additional in-app switch to turn Sticky Notes on for that device.
- To request Sticky Notes support on that tablet form factor, use the in-app feedback channel so the request goes directly to the product team.
Sticky Notes can be accessed on other devices (Windows 10/11, iPhone, Android phone, web, Outlook) when signed in with the same Microsoft account, but the documentation does not provide a way to force-enable Sticky Notes on Android tablet builds beyond what the OneNote app already exposes.
