As a non-Apple user, I cannot suggest any good ones.  But there’s not much we as the Notepad++ (user) Community can do about it.</p>
<p dir="auto">The reason official ports of Notepad++ don’t exist for iOS or Android is because the core of Notepad++ was written using the Win32 API, which is the MS Windows way of handling window management and intra-process and inter-process communication.  This API is significantly different than the various GUI toolkits available for Android or iOS.  By the time enough of the Notepad++ codebase was re-written to be able to work on those completely different platforms, they would cease to be Notepad++.</p>
<p dir="auto">(There is someone who released something they called “Notepad++” to Android, IIRC, but it is unaffiliated with the official Notepad++ discussed here, and has nothing to do with the codebase or this project or forum.)</p>
<p dir="auto">To sum up: I am sure there are plaintext editors available for iOS and Android, but Notepad++ is not one of them; some in the Notepad++ community may have text editors that they use or recommend for their portable devices, but that’s not actually the focus of this forum, so I don’t know how good of an alternative suggestion you will get.   But, to be helpful, let me google that for you on <a href="https://lmgtfy.com/?q=best_ios+text+editor+app" rel="nofollow ugc">iOS</a> and <a href="https://lmgtfy.com/?q=best+android+text+editor+app" rel="nofollow ugc">Android</a>.</p>

<p dir="auto">Never.  Because it doesn’t make any sense.</p>
