why are some iphone notes automatically scrolling up a half to a whole paragraph?

i have iphone 11, ios 15.6.1.


it is similar to these:


Notes App Keeps Swiping To The Top By Its… - Apple Community


Notes App Self Scrolls | Apple Developer Forums


it may not happen on all notes, but not all of them are long. it is likely also happening a lot when switching between apps and i copy and paste into the note or want to type something new in the bottom of the same note. it scrolls up. some odd things that also happen are that it will scroll possibly 2 inches down (as if i presses return multiple times when i didn’t) and appear like a blank note or maybe the note will appear blank and i have to find my place in the note. it also is difficult to tap in a place in a paragraph or maybe sometime at the end of a sentence or try to highlight something like old ios versions it wasn’t.


please let me know about these things. it shouldn’t scroll up like a stuck mouse, etc

iPhone 11

Hello JoshuaCM,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. Let's go ahead and force close Notes, then restart to see if that helps.


  1. "From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.
  2. Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close. 
  3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app. "


Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support


If the problem persists, Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers.

They only told me to update the iOS. I might try calling them again. This situation actually occurred prior to the new release of iOS 16. In fact, it probably occurred right after updating to the iOS that I mentioned. I suppose that I can call them and mention that. I don't believe specifically that updating the operating system fixes every bug.


I had problems with different applications that were solved simply by uninstalling the application, and reinstalling them. I have wondered if this had anything to do with potentially having too long of a note. However, I did not have it happen before with a long note. I am not the first person that had it happen. I found last night that it is like an extended amount of blank space is entered at the end of the note that I did not put there. It will either scroll up automatically part of the note, or it will scroll to the bottom automatically (and get stuck there). I didn't make extra space, but the notes app does it seemingly.
