Apple Notes - won’t reinstall

I have my apps set to be put on the cloud when storage space is running low. I hadn’t used Notes for a while, so my phone put the app on the cloud. When I tried to use Notes again, it wouldn’t put the app back on my phone. It downloads about half of it then stops. After a minute or so, it just goes back to the cloud/arrow icon. After trying for a few weeks, it still won’t download/install.

(My notes are still in iCloud, thankfully. )

I tried deleting the app and trying from the beginning again but the same thing happens. It refuses to go past about 50% downloaded.

I’ve been trying now for a month, to no avail. Please help!

TIA

Delete some stuff

Try Settings, General, iphone storage, and Empty recently deleted album

Clear out some social media images eg GBs if images in Whatsapp.

Take great care, with a phone as full as that any attempt to backup or update can freeze it , and to unfreeze it you can lose everything. Make space now!
