Collaboration not available unable to start collaboration

Every time I try to share notes with someone, I get greeted with the following message:


Collaboration not available

unable to start collaboration


I made sure we're both updated to the latest ios update.

I made sure we're both signed into iCloud.

I made sure everyone has enough storage.

I checked whether my notes are locked.

I even upgraded my icloud starage to 2TB.

I tried with different people too and I still get the same message.


iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Solved. I spoke with apple support and it is a known issue with 16.x. In the meantime they suggested to sign out of iCloud and sign back in. That fixed the issue for me.

Your Notes are always private unless you decide to make one particular note private by sharing and inviting someone to collaborate on that particular note. If you enable icloud sync for Notes then you can access your Notes from any device you are signed into icloud on or via icloud.com, the will still remain private. If you need even more privacy you and create a Secure Note that is password protected.
