Is anyone else experiencing problems with their notes following the iOS 18 update? Until yesterday my notes app was working fine and I was able to use it like I’ve always done. Since yesterday on September 17, 2024, the app’s been completely unusable and you can’t click on your notes without the app freezing or crashing.

iPhone 7, iOS 15
This update is horrendus for notes, it was working fine before the update to ios18. I’m a huge user of notes and have thousands on icloud. It’s unsuable now, notes freezes, glitches, lags and I can’t access important documents. This is infuriating. I’ve unsynced and trying to re-sync my notes to see if that does anything, and the process is taking forever to re-sync.
Such a nasty update for notes.

Thanks so much for this (replying to Metis' comment on the first page of this thread)!
I took these steps and it didn't work for me immediately (no folders or notes appeared in my notepad app after doing it). (Worth noting too - I only started having issues after updating to OS update 18.1.1 today.)
The additional steps I took were the following (after doing what you outlined above):
Cheers everyone!
Having the same issue on ipad m4 13inch ....its really frustrating.
Mine one is iPhone 14, Notes problem happened after updating iOS 18. Please answer someone who knows how to fix it!
Same here! 😡
Hi Metis, I just replied to you but it seems my post is lost or at least I can’t see it, so I’ll try again.
Thank you so much for the reassurances. You’re right. I followed the steps and eventually all my notes came back!
It doesn’t solve the problem: when I first open Notes, my iPad screen is blank except for two tiny arrows in the upper left screen. I tap on those and then get a screen saying no notes. But there’s an icon in the upper left corner so I tap on that and then my Notes folder page appears. Before the iOS 18 update Notes automatically opened up the actual Note I was previously working/writing in. I did update to iOS 18.1 today - didn’t make a difference.
No. Ive done this over a dozen times already. Doesn’t work.
The web version doesn’t let me copy the notes. Just select. What’s the point in selecting if you can’t copy or cut?
My notes jams after installing latest software
Neat and cheers for letting me know - I was referring to 18.0.1. I wonder if this fixes the freezing and lagging? Going to update and report back.
It is still just as slow and laggy as the original 18 release. So frustrating. I wish apple would fix their notes app!
Does not work
I’m convinced this is an iCloud issue. They must of changed something in iCloud as well. I notice my photos app is slow to sync too.
I’ve been having the same issue I have an iphone 14 and it’s a real issue since I have information I need access too in there.
