Notes not working with iCloud
I am trying to set up shared notes using iCloud. Running ios 14 as of two days ago. I have had an iCloud account for ages, but have not tried to use any shared notes features.
I believe that I had already upgraded the Notes app as I was able to scan documents, etc. prior to updating to ios14 and turning on iCloud Notes.
Notes is turned ON in the menu under Settings >Apple ID etc. > iCloud
I am only able to see the "On My iPhone."
When i go to Settings>Notes>Accounts it shows iCloud and my old gmail account. It appears that the icloud is enabled, and when I click through i can verify that it is ON.
I am able to turn on and off notes using an old gmail account. That will show up in notes.
When i log into icloud.com from my PC and click on Notes, I get a popup saying "iCloud Email Needed."
I tried deleting the notes app. Had heart palpitations after reloading the app and found that my 100+ notes dating back many years were gone. Still was unable to add icloud notes! I was able to restore a 30 min old icloud backup and retrieve my old notes.
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
