Introducing Notebook, a Beautifully Simple Note-taking App

Whether you're capturing a thought, creating a checklist, recording an idea, or snapping a moment, note-taking can be fun with Notebook.

We are excited to announce Notebook, a beautifully simple app designed to make note-taking enjoyable. It is available on iOS and Android, optimized for smartphones and tablets.

Notebook introduces the concept of ‘Note Cards’. Note Cards are built-in templates for capturing various types of content inside Notebook. The Text Card lets you capture anything in a note, while a Checklist Card lets you create, well, checklists. There's also an Audio Card to record voice notes, and a Photo Card to snap moments. All Note Cards feature randomly generated colors that can be customized.

Notebook makes note-taking fun by providing an interactive experience. You can group Note Cards by pinching them together, then flick a group to view them. In landscape view, Note Cards behave like magnets when you group/ungroup them; you can even collapse your notes like an accordion.

Whether you capture your ideas through a quick note initiated from a 3D Touch or through the widget from the notification bar, Notebook lets you focus on your thoughts and not the tool.

Note Cards can be organized into Notebooks. Each notebook comes with a unique hand-drawn cover from our in-house artists. You can create your own covers by adding any image of your choice.

All of your notes are seamlessly synced across various devices and to the Zoho cloud. No matter which device you use, your notes are always up to date.

Notebook is free (and ad-free), just like our other productivity apps. We think you'll enjoy the app. Download it and give it a try (iOS, Android).

  1. I love this app, but I didn’t sign in when I first started using it. When I try to log in with the new Zoho update, it says "Our records shows that you have already logged in as a different user. Do you still want to continue to login and remove the old user's data from this device?" How can I log in without having all of my notes deleted?

    1. Hi, This message will be shown if you have previously signed in, and later trying to sign-in as a different user. If you had any un-synced notes in the previous signed-in, those data will be erased. If you’re in guest mode now, you can simply sign-in to the app, all your data will be synced without any issues. For any further clarification, send us a feedback from the app, one of our support assistant will reach you and will help you to proceed further.

  2. I love this app, but I didn't sign in when I first started using it. How do I sync an existing notebook? I want to keep my notebooks, when I sign up. How can I do that?

    1. Hi Sophia, We have two modes in the app, guest mode and signed-in mode. In guest mode, all your data will be stored in local and in signed-in mode, all your data will be stored in the cloud. Now from guest mode, you can simply Sign-up to the app from settings. All your data from local will be automatically synced to the cloud and you'll be able to access it from any other device. Keep using the app and share your feedback to us.

  3. Notebook is a very good app and recommend everyone to install it. This is the app where we can organiser ideas in the written form or recorded voice a simple text. Actually I want to ask a question though...... There is a option to organise a text as when we use this option the points will be automatically kept like a bold dot. But I want to keep special type of indication for special points. Like maybe instead of the bold dot keep some design like a fish or something else over if there is an option such, please help me ?

    1. Hey Ananya, Glad to know that you love our app. Please keep using the app and share us your thoughts. Regarding the bullet list icons, select the list and click on the right indent icon from the editor tool, this will apply different unordered icons to the list. For any further clarifications, you can reach us at support@zohonotebook.com.

    1. Hey John, There were few iOS 13 specific issues in the app earlier and the dictation issue is also one of them. We have fixed it in our latest version 5.4.8. Please update the app from App Store and try using the app.

  4. Hi, love the app on iOS, Mac. What s the today card for on my watch? My assumption. 1. When you open watch, at the beginning of the day, choose today. 2. Any additional notes added on the watch or devices will line up for that day. 3. Fill in the date on the device for the Today Card. 4. Use it as a marker then to gather all the notes from a particular day.

    1. Hi John, Strings ’Today’ and ‘Notebook’ in watch are just templates that we’ve provided for users understanding. On tapping ‘Today’, just a note with content ‘Today’ will be created. And your suggestions for this flow are actually good. We really appreciate it. I’ll take this to the development team and we’ll provide this feature, if feasible.

  5. Just setting up the app on my ipad, iphone and iwatch I cannot create a new note on my watch. The display on my watch does not look like the note display on my ipad or iphone. The list entries are all strung together, no separation between list entries.

    1. Hey John, We would like to let you know that, Notebook is specifically designed for iWatch based on the limitations that Apple provide. From iWatch, you can take notes by tapping on ‘Text note’ icon and use audio transcript or scribbler to create a Text note. And you can also create audio notes by simply tapping on the 'Record' icon. The notes taken in watch will be synced to your phone. Regarding the list preview issue in iWatch. Please write us to support@zohonotebook.com, our support person will help you with it.

  6. AMAZING APP!!!!! I’ve ditched countless apps & replaced them with this, which is SO much better than anything else out there, I honestly can’t fault this app.... Except for one thing & it’s unfortunately a huge issue for me & the few other people I know that use it too.... There doesn’t seem to be any way to type your notes in landscape view on the iOS app version? It’s prevented me from many times not typing things up when I really should because for me & many others I know, typing in portrait view (holding phone upright) takes SOZ much longer so many times I ditch notetaking at times I’d like to simply because I wouldn’t have the time if I had to type everything in portrait view, I’ve found the other people I know that also use Zoho Notebook say the same thing, I’ve had to hang onto another writing app just because that app allows me to turn my phone sideways & type in landscape view, just for me to turn copy & paste whatever I’ve written in there over to my Zoho Notebook app where I wanted it typed in the first place, it’s really annoying!! ?? ...I even downloaded the iOS Zoho Writer app hoping that’d at least have the landscape view option, I figured it’d at least be able to transfer typed things from there over to Notebook faster/easier considering they’re both Zoho apps, but nope, Writer doesn’t have that function either!! ?? I’ve searched countless times for an answer to this problem & done countless updates just hoping, Best I could find was instructions for how to type in landscape view in Writer, but those instructions are obviously for PC or MAC, definitely not for the iOS app, the settings I need to do it don’t even exist in the iOS app that I can find ??, as for Notebook which is where I REALLY want the landscape view function, couldn’t even find a mention of the problem let alone a solution, I’ve waited almost a year, please, PLEASE add the option to type in landscape view Zoho Notebook for iOS, it’s the only thing I can really fault the app on, but it’s a big one for me & others I know!! ???

    1. Hi Rachelle, We are glad that you like our app. We understand your concern about landscape mode. We would like to let you know that Notebook app supports landscape view in iPad and Tablet. And the same support for mobile app is already on our road map. This feature will be added in one of our future update. Once this feature is added, we’ll get you notified.

  7. Please, PLEASE add the ability to TYPE notes while holding my phone sideways (landscape view/mode), there’s a setting to “view notes in landscape view”, but that just seems to be a “visual thing”, I’m desperate for the ability to be able to turn my phone sideways & have the note turn with it to suit so I can type that way, typing while holding my phone sideways is the ONLY way I type anything of significance as it’s 10x faster for me, almost all apps have that ability, but can’t find any way to do it in this app? I absolutely LOVE this app by the way, that would honestly be my only complaint that really alters my ability to use the app, pleeeease add the ability to TYPE while holding my phone sideways? I’m using the iOS app? ???

    1. Hey Rachelle, Thank you for sharing us your feedback. Notebook supports landscape mode in iPad and Tablet now, and the same for mobile app is already on our road map. We will have it added in one of our future update and we’ll get you notified once this feature is added.

  8. Hello, it is a great notebook app but one big feature missing is the ability to create and modify tables. Even the most basic apps like Apple Notes have this feature. When can we have this in Notebook?

    1. Hey Saurabh, Table support in note card is already on our road map. We are adding up features based on users request. We will be adding this feature in one of our future update. Please follow our blog for any update.

      1. I definitely second that request. The lack of both tables and headlines are the two things that keep me from using this app. Otherwise, Zoho Notebook seems like a good notebook app.

    1. Hi, Split view in Notebook Mac app is not supported yet. We are working on it and it will be available in one of our future update. We will get you notified once this feature is made live.

  9. How do I change my email that I used to set up the app in order to receive reminders to my current email? Also, is there a way I can add those reminders to automatically show up in my calendar?

    1. Hey Jennifer, To receive reminders to other mail, login to accounts.zoho.com > Profile > Email Address > Add Email, add your new mail here. After adding your secondary Email, make it as Primary one by clicking on ‘Primary mail’ icon which you’ll see when you mouse hover on the Secondary mail address. Once the new mail is made as Primary one, you’ll start receiving reminders to it. We are working on integration with other apps. Soon it may be integrated with Google Calendar. We will get you notified once this feature is made live.

  10. I don't see a way to archive a notebook ? I have done projects cluttering the main view making things difficult. If I could maybe at least have a way to collect or export done notebooks into a retrievable archive that would help. Thanks

    1. Hey Jez, As of now, we don’t have such functionality. We have an option to Export your notes individually as znote and it can be imported later at any point of time. To export a note, open the note > click ‘Export’ > Export as ZNote. Feature to export multiple notes at a time and exporting a Notebook is on our road map and will be provided in one of our future update.

  11. Accidentally deleted one notebook list. Very important. How can I retrieve it? Name of list is Cal Trip. I don't see anything about feedback or User Log. Is there a User Manual?

    1. Hi, All your trashed items will be available in the Trash folder. Please click Menu > Trash, select the items to be recovered and tap ‘Recover’. If you've emptied your Trash folder, then your data can not be recovered. And to send feedback from the app, click Menu > Help & Feedback > Send feedback. We’ve also given FAQ link in the same page.

    1. Hi, We had this issue in our previous version and we have fixed it in our latest version. Please update to the latest version from App Store and check if you are still facing the issue. If you still face any issues, please write us to support@zohonotebook.com.

  12. I have to manipulate notebook 5.0.7 in order to write in a note that I have created! Sometimes it won't let me in a note that I have created. If I back out of the program until it goes away and start over sometimes it will let me in a note. Very frustrating.

    1. Hi, We understand your frustration. Please send us a feedback mail from the app with ‘User log’. We will analyze the log and help you to get the issue resolved.

  13. I can’t seem to add a checklist item to a existing notecard via the Apple Watch. Will this feature be added? All I want to do is have a shared grocery list between my iPhone and Apple Watch where I can add items via the iPhone and Watch, but I can’t find a simple app that will let me do that. :(

    1. Hey Jaclyn, As of now, it is not possible to add items in iWatch. You can only check and uncheck the items in the list from iWatch. We may support the feature to add items from iWatch in our future update.

    1. Hi, Yes, you can access our web app at notebook.zoho.com. We have Notebook app for iOS, Android, Mac and Web. Notebook for Windows is getting ready.

  14. How do I sync notebook app on iPhone to ipad without having to create a Zoho account? This is very important as i use both devices interchangeably.

    1. Hi, Only if you’re signed in to the app, your data will be synced across your devices. If you’re using the app offline and incase if there is any data loss, it is not possible to retrieve the data. So we always suggest our users to use the app logged in. If you're logged in, you can also access your data from our web app at notebook.zoho.com

    1. Hi, To increase the font size, please go to Settings > Notes > Editor Font and adjust the slider. You can also change the fonts in the same page. If you have any further queries, please reach us at support@zohonotebook.com, our support assistant will help you.

    1. Hi, You can simply print your notes from mobile devices without sharing it to your computer. From iOS, 1. Open the note. 2. Click ’Share’ option from the bottom bar. 3. Chose ‘Export as PDF’ > ‘Print’ and select the printer. From Android, 1. Open the note. 2. Click more option at the top right. 3. Chose ‘Print’ and select the printer. From Web and desktop app, 1. Open the note. 2. Use shortcut key ‘Cmd + P’ from Mac or ‘Ctrl + P’ from Windows.

    1. Hi Raina, Yes, you can simply pinch in and pinch out over the PDF file to zoom in and zoom out in iOS devices. In desktop, right click over the PDF and chose ‘Zoom In’. If you are facing any trouble in it, please reach us at support@zohonotebook.com.

    1. Hi Raina, You can create group within Notebooks. You can have any number of groups within a Notebook. To create a group, long press and select the notes to be grouped, and chose ‘Group’ option. You can also name your Groups by clicking on more option in the group and closing ‘Set title for the group’ or by simply opening the group and entering the Title.

  15. Okay, this is something that absolutely needs to be fixed. I am an extremely tech-savvy person, so the fact that I've spent 30 minutes pulling my hair out, means this needs to be addressed: In downloading the app on MAC, you enable the user to skip creating a ZoHo account. Great. That's nice and refreshing that we are not forced to create an account to try it out. But then, I fell in love with the app and wanted to get it on my phone. Downloaded it onto my phone. Now, as far as I know, it is next to impossible to take the notebooks created on my MAC, which is not linked to an email, and get them onto my iPhone. The app on the Mac has no 'sign in' or 'create a log in' tab as the iPhone app does. I created an account on my iPhone, but have 0 capability to import the Notes I created on my MAC onto my iPhone because the desktop version does not allow you to create an account if you SKIP the option to begin with. Extremely, extremely frustrating - and I've tried every single tab on the iPhone in the settings option and nothing allows me to import them.

    1. Hi, To login to your account in Notebook Mac application, 1. Open the app and click on 'Notebook' in the menu bar. 2. Click Sign in option to login. (or) 1. Open the app and press (cmd + ,) keys to open Notebook Settings. 2. Select ‘Account’ tab and sign in to your account. Use the same account which you have used in iPhone so that all your notes from Mac will be synced across your devices.

  16. I am contemplating going from Evernote Notebook. I understand I can migrate my information into Notebook. I have a quite a large number of tags in one notebook in Evernote. How does this information to appear in your app since you do not have tags?

    1. Hi John, As of now, your notebooks and note cards will be migrated but the tags in Evernote will not be reflected in Notebook as we don’t support this feature. Once we start supporting the feature, it will also be migrated and you would be able to see the same in Notebook.

    1. Hey Sidney, Currently, we have import notes feature only from Evernote app. In future, we would start supporting import notes from other apps too. Now, to export your note from Notes app, open the note and click Share option and select Notebook app. Bulk export from Notes app is not possible.

  17. How do you change the cover image? Great app but to be honest kind of a giant pain to figure out stuff that SHOULD be simple.

    1. Hey Christina, To change the notebook cover, just swipe it towards left and click on info(i) icon. If you're a web user, just right click over the notebook and select "Change Cover" option. We have listed out few basic operations of the app in "Settings > Help & Feedback > Tips". Also, you can find our help page at https://notebook.zoho.com/helpTopics.do.

  18. Good work! Very nice note taking app and obviously there's long term developer care in it but I'll need a good tagging feature to motivate me to move over from EverNote.

    1. Hey Gary, Thanks for your feedback. Tagging feature is already on our road map. It will be added in one of our future update. Share us your mail ID to support@zohonotebook.com, we will get you notified once the feature is available.

  19. Hi, if I write a note and post some photos there, how can I share the photos only but not the whole note coz when I click the photos, no share button but editing photos tools are shown. Thanks.

    1. Hey Fian, As of now, sharing only photos from a Text note is not possible. You can use our Image note for this case. We will consider this as a feedback and will add it to our feature request list. We will get you notified once this feature is added.

    1. Hey Dan, We are working on Public shareable link for notes which will be from version 5.0. This feature will allow you to share a note link to public. Anyone with the link, can view the note in browser and can add the note to their account. Once this feature is live, we will plan for Notebook sharing feature.

    1. Hi, We maintain only two states within our app, locked and unlocked. If you lock one of your notebook, all the notebooks for which you have set lock, will be locked. If you want to remove lock for a notebook, swipe the notebook, click on info(i) and select ‘Remove lock’. Once lock is removed, locking other notebook will not lock this one.

  20. Hey it's a nice app. Great experience so far. I wanna know where are my notes backed up? and I can't find a backup option there either to manually backup.

    1. Hey Ayesha, If you’re a signed in user, you need not to worry about backup. All your data will be synced and can be accessed from any devices.

Backup as ZNote for multiple notes at a time is not yet implemented and this feature will be provided in our future update. If you have any further clarification, please write us to support@zohonotebook.com.

    1. Hi, You can use our Sorting feature to organise your note cards within Notebook. We are yet to add this feature in our Help document. If you're using web app, you'll find the Sort icon at the top left in Notebook/Notecard view. If you're using any other platform, you'll find the sorting option in Notebook Settings page. For further clarification, please write us to support@zohonotebook.com.

  21. I am on pc and can not even work out hoe to title a notebook tutorials go to syncing with other devices and all the stuff i am not interested in I just want a series of notebooks that I can find and read at will

    1. Hi, To rename your notebook, i) Just swipe the notebook and click on info icon, change the notebook name and click 'Enter' to save or ii) Just click over the title, change name and click 'Enter' to save. If you do want your data to be synced, you can use our app in iOS, Mac or Android without signing in. Note: If you are using web app, you have to sign in to create or access your data. You can find all the basic functions of our Notebook app at https://notebook.zoho.com/helpTopics.do and if you still have any clarification, please write us to support@zohonotebook.com

  22. For several months, my wife and I have been using Notebook on our iOS devices (one iPhone and iPad per person). It's been great. Love the organization, the look, speed, Zoho's philosophy. We were ready to finally dump Evernote off our devices when suddenly, last week, we couldn't get Notebook to open. It seems to open for a split second, but instantly disappears from screen. My wife wrote Support about this a week ago, but hasn't gotten a response. Reloading doesn't fix the problem. In my case, at least, Notebook was failing on my iPhone, but I could still work with it on my iPad. Just now, I noticed that it's failing on the iPad, too. (iPad 4 mini, running 11.3.1.) This failure does happen to coincide with upgrading from our iPhone 6 devices to iPhone 8 Plus. So, we're wondering if maybe there's an iPhone 8 Plus-related glitch which in turn synchs to the iPads. Has anyone else had this happen lately--an immediate crash upon opening, every time? Anyway, we are eager to solve the problem and get back to work on this much-used app.

    1. Hi, We are sorry that you didn’t receive any response from our team. I’ve checked with the team and one of our support assistant will contact you shortly. So far, you’re the only user facing this issue. We are currently analysing the issue with high priority. Once the root cause for the issue is identified, we will fix it and will let you know. Until then, we suggest you to use our web app at notebook.zoho.com

  23. This is an incredibly well-designed, elegant, useful utility. It's really impressive. It performs some extremely powerful organizing functions, offering users relevant choices, but not so many that it become tedious. After using years of mediocre-designed utilities, this is one that is really smart plus it's aethetically lovely. So thanks, and good job. (I just started using it, but having a lot of experience in tech, this stands out already.)

    1. Hi, We are glad that you are enjoying our application:) Keep using the app and share us your valuable feedback.

  24. Please how do I sync my notebook on android to my iPhone . Got an iPhone and downloaded notebook. I don’t see a sign in option

  35. I see everyone has been asking about an app for Windows. I have a surface 3, and I honestly, I can't find a good app that will allow me to write notes, as well as upload pdf files and be able to make notes on (pdf) files and then organize them into a note book. With that said, I'm really looking forward to your program for Windows. Will it be available this year 2017 or next 2018. Thanks!

We have "Export as PDF" function in our app. If you're an iOS user, open the note and click on the Export icon from the bottom bar, you'll see the "Export as PDF" icon in the popup list.

      1. Maybe their system won't handle the surge in usage if they release a desktop version. I'm learning to live with OneNote, so maybe Notebook isn't crucial after all. I had not know about Google Keep. Interesting since I used Google Notebooks ages ago. Guess I'll check that out. By the time Notebook unwraps the desktop version, who is going to care?

        1. I have recently started using Google notes As well. I don't know if their system would handle it or not. I am not a programer but, honestly it seems like they put more effort into their Apple users, because they have had a version for Apple desktops for at least a year now.

  39. I had been longing for this product, its very pretty, but there is something that i wish was present, like google keep or evernote or onenote, i like to write my emails and bullets on notebook and email it to my team, also i like to attach PDF and attach comments on it. but i cannot find email option on my android app. it says on your website site that notes can be shared, please let me know how.

    1. Hi, You can email your notes from Notebook app. To do it, 1. Open the note you want to mail. 2. Click on more option from the top right. 3. Select ‘Export’ from the list. If you have any further clarification, please reach us at support@zohonotebook.com

  40. I keep getting notifications about this app, but it's useless to me until it syncs with Windows. I thought that was supposed to be available months ago, still, no news of that.

  41. I am very interested in this app. However, I need to be able to install it on my PC laptop, in addition to my phone. When will that be available? Thanks.

  42. Does any know or could I please I have he exact dimensions the notebook covers need to be because they always are a bit stretch out of shape for me, I love the app so much use it every day but this little thing bugs the hell out of me!!

  43. Can you add a feature for creating subtasks for both bullet points in the text card, and for checklist card?

  44. When are you all going to be releasing the windows version of Zoho Notebook? I asked this about 1 year ago and you all said it was "in the works" I love your product but can you please give some type of estimate. Or at least release the zoho notebook online option. Thanks! Keep up the good work.

  45. hello thank you so so so much for this beautiful and amazing application, however im having a slight problem, i am unable to change the size of my image on macbook pro. and i cant move the image around, pleaseee add this to notebook so my work can be done abit easier pleaseee. i want to have my images side by side.

  46. Thanks for the great app, and thanks for responding to all these questions for a free product. Good work. I am enjoying notebook but I find myself going over to other 'less attractive' programs due to the apparent inability to export whole notebooks. Is this a feature that is possible to add? I would be happy to pay for more features like this. Ideally I would like to be able to send notebook with mixed formats (audio pics drawings) to some usable single format like PDF. Thanks and keep up the good work

  48. (Here I publish my e-mail to You and your team :]) Dear Zoho team, I wrote you once, Notebook is really really SUPER concept of note or memory taking app! But I have some problems. but, I use it generally as a voice diary. And what I miss, are the following 3 thngs: 1. The possibility to export/backup all the notebooks and note cards to an file (for example, potentially your own special *.zoho file ;] ) so I could store my notes anywhere (USB stick...). I'd prefer it more than online sync, I really need to have a possibility of a archive file backup of it! 2. I even can't export notes anywhere to my phone from your app! The "export" possibility in notes doesn't work! 3. And last flaw, I can't see how much memory the records take and with respect to this, I would appriciate the possibility to adjust the quality of the voice recording (to record smaller files). Theese flaws forestall the literal perfection of your great app! So please, my main question is: Will somday be available this things specially 1 and 3, which I need? Or should i use some Audio Recorder until new version? EVEN IF IT WOULD BE A "PRO" FUNCTION, I'D BUY IT!!!

    1. Hi, The back up option and memory usage features are in our road map and will be added in our future updates. There were few issues in exporting note cards which has been fixed now and it will be available in the next update. If you have any further clarifications, please write us to support@zohonotebook.com.

      1. Use your phone's record app. You can move those anywhere you want, at least if you use Android. iPhone may be a challenge.

  49. I can't find, where Notebook stores my photos, voice recordings and notes... Please, what's the directory of that folder with all that files?

  50. It will be great if you let user set some custom fonts. I want to test ur beta version of windows client,Please send me the link.

    1. Hi, As of now, Notebook app has 5 Font formats. If you are using Notebook Mac application, you can change the font settings from Notebook Preferences > Note cards > Editor Font. If you are using Notebook mobile application, you can change the font settings from Settings > Text Font. If you have any further clarifications, please write us to support@zohonotebook.com.

  53. Hello, I have the same concerns as the last user Iritzia Sigala who made that comment back in July 2016. It seems as though you still haven't replied. I would appreciate it if you did. Or perhaps you did reply 1 month ago, since the users comment for some reason says 1 month ago when I recall seeing it in July, but maybe reply is hidden?

    1. Hi, Due to some technical issue, the reply is hidden for you. We would like to let you know that once you Sign In to Zoho Notebook, all your data will be saved in cloud and you can access it from any devices by Signing In to the same account.

  54. Hello I see that you made this comment back in July of last year 2016 and you still haven't received a reply from Zoho. I hope this late reply will be of some use, even if it is already April 2017. I tried contacting Zoho, but didn't get a reply. What I found is that there is below your username, there is an option that says trash. You can restore all your deleted notes but only after some time before they are permanently deleted. As for the zoho cloud, it seems as though that is a paid option available for businesses. I hope this helps!

    1. Hello, Due to some technical issue, the reply is hidden for you. We would like to let you know that Zoho cloud is not only for the businesses. Once you Sign in to Zoho Notebook, all your data will be saved to the cloud and you can access it from any device by signing in to the same account.

I hope this answer will help, even if it is very late. I have contacted Zoho team, but they aren't very responsive. What I found is that you can retrieve deleted notes in the trash option under your username. However, the notes will be automatically deleted after a given time, so I suggest you restore any deleted notes asap. As for the Zoho cloud, it seems as though the Zoho cloud is only available for businesses that pay for it, but I am not sure. I hope this has answered your question.

You need not to add it anywhere instead you can simply login with the same account in Mac app so that all the Notebooks/notes created in your phone will be automatically synced. If you are using the app as a guest user in Mac, go to Preferences > Account > Sign In and sign in to the same account which you have it in your phone.
