Notes widget not working on iPhone 12 mini

Thanks for getting back to us iphoneminitwelv, it’s appreciated.

Did you have a chance to remove and re-add the widget? Sometimes that can help fix issues with them. If you have, try again since we’ve thrown an extra step in. Here’s how once again: Use widgets on your iPhone and iPod touch - Apple Support Once the widget has been removed, restart your iPhone before adding it back again.

If you’re still not seeing your Notes in the widget after this, we recommend contacting Apple Support: Get Support

Take care.

iphoneminitwelv,

We'd like to clarify. Does this behavior persist regardless of the note that you select to be previewed within your Widget? Does the size of the added Widget matter? Also, do any of your notes have a password associated with them?

These details can help isolate the behavior and facilitate additional answers from the community.

Regards.
