Notes goes blank

I was just reading a post where this has been happening since 2019. I have an 11 fully up to date. In fact it has gotten worse since the 15.3.1 update. Notes will go blank every other time I open it. Then I have to force close the app and reopen. Can we finally get this resolved???

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hello, bwgreine.

A few things to consider that might be contributing to this behavior:Does this happen with all of your Notes or only the one that loads when you open the app? If just one, does it happen with a new note you make?Has your iPhone been recently restarted? If not, please do so: Restart your iPhone. Do you access these Notes on another device or only this iPhone 11? If yes, does the behavior continue there?Are your notes synced with iCloud? If not, set that up and test for a resolution: Set up iCloud for Notes on all your devices.

Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!

bwgreine,


Got it. Follow the additional steps below to see if they help with content not loading as expected in Notes:


1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected. 

2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected. 

3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad. 

4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
