Cannot Add Note to Contact

iPhone 7 running 12.3.1 I see the "Note" field in contacts but cannot create a note. Notes previously created with earlier operating systems can be edited.

iPhone 7, iOS 12

iOS 15.4.1 for iPhone I purchased an iPhone 8 with iOS version 15.4.1 already installed on the phone. I have the following questions as these actions are a bit frustrating. Contacts: after viewing an individual contact I normally close the individual contact which then returns one to the list of all contacts. When opening Contacts the next time it defaults to the previous open contact and not to the list of contacts. I would prefer it if the app were always to open in the list of contacts. Notes: after viewing a note I normally close the note which then returns one to the list of all notes on the phone. When opening Notes the next time it defaults to the previous open note and not to the list of notes. I would prefer it if the app were always to open in the list of notes. Previously I used an iPhone 6 running iOS 12. something and the above issues were not experience using iOS 12. Is there a setting one can change in iOS 15.4.1 to ensure that these apps default on opening as described above?

That worked! I thought I tapped everywhere in Notes field - except the most obvious place. Thank you!

You’re welcome. I don’t know if it really is obvious. One would think that tapping anywhere in the text field would work, but it doesn’t.

Try tapping directly below the word Note and see if you can enter the text then.
