I am having trouble with my note not updating on my MacBook. It is an older MacBook but I have a iPhone 12.

It used to work up until recently but now it will not update. The only notes that get updated are from my computer to my phone not the other way around. I add notes all the time on my phone but they never update on my computer. Any help is appreciated. I tried loggin off and logging on. Nothing changed.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Try going to iCloud.com using a computer browser to see if the items are there and whether they are from the device or the computer. That should show whether the device or the computer isn't syncing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID if you are using Catalina or later) and stop syncing. Wait a couple of minutes, then recheck syncing. If the device, go to Settings/Your Name/iCloud and do the above. As a last resort, you can also try signing out of iCloud and then sign in again.
