Hello Dooki-san,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


We see you're unable to add a folder in the Notes app after updating to iOS 16, so let's try a few things. While a restart may seem simple, this can clear up unexpected occurrences. Let's get started by restarting your iPhone, then check if you can add a new folder. For assistance with restarting, check out these steps: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, or 13

1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.

The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.

3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.


If a restart doesn't clear this up, confirm that you have iOS 16.0.2 installed and check how much available space you have on your iPhone. In addition, let us know if you can create a new note or not.


Have a great day!
