I recently upgraded to Catalina and to iOS 13 on all devices. Since then, there appears to a problem with iCloud notes not syncing and/or extremely slow to sync. For me, I have to constantly restart the app on all devices. Sometimes the sync occurs, sometimes not. I’ve signed in and out of the iCloud on all devices. Same issue. Anyone’s else have this problem?
Solution! I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple support yesterday. No joy. Then, I thought about what I would do if this were a third-party app. I recollected that the problem began with a note on my iPad. So, I simply deleted the app from my iPad. I then went to the App Store and downloaded it again. After this, you need to go into iCloud settings and manually connect Notes to iCloud.
Following this, it took awhile for notes to repopulate on my iPad. However, now that this is complete, synchronization is functioning normally again. Hopefully this is not an aberration.
Updated to iOS 13.2. Notes still sync slowly and randomly.
Same
Never mind. Back to slow syncing ☹️
Updated to 13.2 and 10.15.1.
No luck fixing Notes syncing issues.
What is going on at Apple these days? Is it too much to ask that simple Notes sync with one another?
Same sync issue between iPad and iPhones. So, it’s most likely the app, methinks, since this all started after iOS update.
I’m impressed with how Apple has been able to break something I didn’t think was breakable, like iCloud sync for Notes.
Banner year.
Following because I'm having the exact same issue.
Same with me. Upgraded all my devices and same issue with Notes. Frustrating and slowly getting tired of Apple continuous bugged software.
Hi there,
I'm facing the same issues: no sync of notes and photos. :-(
Updated to iOS/iPadOS 13.2.2, no fix. Still having trouble with notes.
Also not fixed in 13.3 beta.
I have this issue too. To be honest I think it's so unprofessional of Apple
Having issues with notes taking ages to sync if it ever syncs at all. Think I’ll go back to Evernote’s until this is resolved.
I must say, it's been working well since yesterday! Let's hope that it continues to work and reaches all users.
Yes, I am having the same problem, but am still on Mojave. So I don’t think Catalina is the culprit
iCloud notes not syncing or extremely slow
