We’re excited to announce the upcoming refresh to the OneNote app on Android Mobile to help you quickly capture what’s important to you and remember with confidence.
The new Home tab on your OneNote Mobile app allows you to:
- Capture naturally with text, voice, ink, and camera
- Remember with ease with rich note preview cards
The Home page displays your recent notes from all your signed-in accounts in a single unified view. You can tap on a note card to view or edit the note or long press on it to take a quick action.
You can switch between Grid view to see more notes at the same time) and List view (to see more detail on each note card) to select your preferred view.

You can arrange the notes on the Home tab to suit your personal preference. Sort your notes by Updated Date, Created Date or Alphabetically, and use the filter options to filter notes by note type, Notebook Page, Sticky Note, Samsung Note, or by signed in account.
