Hello MalBee-_-,
We understand you're unable to see edits by other people you've shared notes with on your iPhone, and that you'd like to know if there is a way to refresh your notes to see other edits completed by others.
When a shared note is updated, everyone on the note will receive a notification that an update was made. As long as your device is connected to the Internet, iCloud keeps your notes and folders up to date everywhere.
If you're not receiving a notification that an update was made, we'd recommend confirming you're using the latest version of iOS, and that everyone that you share with has updated their device and notes too. If you have drawings in any of your notes, make sure they've been updated so you can use the latest features. For additional details, please see the "Before you being" section in how to Share your notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
We've recently released iOS and iPadOS version 14.5.1. If an update is needed on your iPhone, or on the devices other people you're sharing notes with, we'd recommend creating a current backup prior to updating. These links can help:
- How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
- Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- How to manually update apps on your Apple device
Once you've confirmed all devices are up to date, we'd also recommend reviewing the "Manage how you share" section in how to Share your notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to ensure alerts aren't hidden. If you'd like to all changes you or collaborators make to the note, we'd recommend turning on Highlight All Changes. Please note that you need iOS 13 or later, or iPadOS to use some of the latest Notes features, like View only and Highlight All Changes.
If you're unable to update, or you're still unable to see edits as expected, please let us know with iOS or iPadOS version you and the people you've shared notes with are using. You can find the iOS and iPadOS versions by going to Settings > General > About.
Cheers!
