I’m not sure there’s a way for anyone to tell you from the outside, because there are a LOT of possible reasons. Some ideas –

- Maybe your friend made an error creating the export and didn’t include all 58? – Is it an `apkg` or `txt` file?
- Were you expecting 58 cards or 58 notes? – Are you sure you’re looking at the right view?
- Is this a deck you’ve had before or the same topic (and note type) to notes you’ve had before? – The rest of them might have just updated existing cards/notes.

5 Cards

If it isn’t the case, would you share this deck?

I’m new to anki …I’ve just started few weeks ago…so I’m really sorry if I appear dumb🥲but I don’t know the difference between cards and notes

It shows 58 cards in MY PHONE app :

When I export it to SOMEONE ELSE :

See only 5 cards show imported in his phone  
I’m attaching one more pic to confirm:

Edit: I figured it out finally …only 7 cards were being exported because the rest of cards were in my CUSTOM study deck…once I deleted that custom study deck …all 58 cards get exported 😅
