Apple Notes Blank

Sometimes when I go to my notes on my phone, the contents of my notes have disappeared. The only way I have been able to get them back is by going to my notes on my computer and editing the note where the content shows up.


To be clear - is it not a login issue. I am logged in to all of my accounts and I am able to see my notes. The title of the note is there, the subtext is there, but when I click the note, it is blank. Oddly enough, it will let me write in the note but with "invisible ink" so I don't see anything when I am typing, but if I leave the note, I can see gibberish in the subtext. See photos below.


So that image shows what I see even if I'm writing (of course there is a keyboard below). The second image shows what shows up after I write something, but if I click the note, I see nothing! Very frustrating when I need the content of a note when I only have my phone. I am not having this problem with my computer. Sometimes if I close out of notes, it lets me see what I'm writing again, but I still can't access the data on a note that is blanked out on my phone until I open it and edit it on my computer and they resync... its a confusing problem, I hope I have explained it clearly but if you need clarification just let me know.


I just got a brand new iPhone XR. Please help!

Hi was just on to Apple support 

They sent this link, have a read and if it sorts 

“our notes problem” 

Can you please report back if it works cheers

I have a feeling it is to do with Icloud, do you all use Icloud? if you go to notes and the note you want is not there

click on folder on top left hand corner and go to notes in i cloud and see if the note you want works there.

Tell us if you find this is ok! or this below is the link they sent

A year and a month later and it’s still happening. Killing the app doesn’t help me. I need to restart my phone or look on my laptop, which isn’t useful when I’m standing in the middle of a store trying to look at my list. Yes, first world problems. It would just be cool if someone at Apple would take notice and fix the problem on phones we chose to spend a thousand dollars on. Lesson learned.
