This isn’t always the case though, especially where there are incorrect permission settings or general software issues like bugs that stop Outlook from syncing with your phone. IPhones usually do a good job of syncing and updating contacts across apps and devices. You can check this by going to Settings > Apps (Applications) > Permissions and toggle the Contacts switch to on to green. Note: Make sure Gmail can access your contacts and calendar.

If a popup requesting Remote security administration appears, tap OK and then complete your sign-in on the next page.

Deleting the Gmail account off the iDevice entirely, and then re-adding the Gmail account and turning everything off except Notes syncing.This does not seem to have any effect, and the Gmail notes section under the Notes app never shows back up. Turned off Note syncing (which deletes the notes from the Device), and then turning it back on.My Gmail Notes integration was legacy, but I preferred how it worked over the Office 365's OneNote setup. I use Office 365 for Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. I only use Gmail for Notes - I have all other Gmail syncing turned off in the iOS settings (as has been for at least the last year and a half without issue). When I do get it working again, it only works for a handful of days (2-5 days), and then suddenly stops syncing again for no obvious reason. This causes out-of-sync Notes, and is a pain to get working again.

The notes will be locally updated on the particular iDevice I used last, but never sync up to Gmail (verified by looking in my account on a web browser), and therefore never sync to my other iDevice. My setup was working fine for the last several years, but recently (starting about a month and a half ago), my Notes randomly stop syncing between the devices and Google. I have a iPad and iPhone, both of which are having severe Gmail Notes syncing issues.
