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.
Notes app has developed serious and irritating issues. It indents the text on its own. When a word is selected and underlined / made bold, it is automatically indented as well. Previously it indented to right and now to the left. Secondly, when I want to change a letter in a word and I tap it, the app comes up with its own senseless suggestion and sticks to it. Third, oftentimes the cursor doesn’t function as desired.
Another problem relates to Files app where sometimes it doesn’t select a text for highlight. Then I select another word and then I come back to the intended word and it works.

harwantdad ~ As your iPhone XR is an old model, it's worth checking for a weak, aging battery. So...
Does your iPhone XR still have its original battery?
And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Should not have to. This is a reinstalled program on iPhone and part of the iOS programming that updates with their update. They are responsible for it. I paid a lot of money for this devise. I expect it to work. I should not need any go around a.
If you expect absolute perfection from any company (or person), you are going to continue to be disappointed.
Worked for me. Very weird. I wasn’t even having issues with notes from my icloud but from my local storage. I would try to delete a column or edit a note in the “on my phone” category and then ‘crash’. Not anymore thanks 👍🏼

And suddenly, I can access my large notes again! No software update on my end, perhaps it was a problem with iCloud? What gives, Apple?
The solution I found was to change the file names of the large files in iCloud
The solution is to change the note name or file name I iCloud. Worked perfectly for my iPhone 15 iOS 18
I changed the note name of my largest file in iCloud this solution solved the issue on my iPhone 15 using ios18
no more issues
How do you do that? Would that work for locked much larger notes with photos?
Same
Notes app is crashing after iOS 18 update on my iPhone
