Notes App crashing on IPhone 11

My Notes app just started crashing as soon as I open it. I sync/share my iPad with my phone and noticed it does that on there as well. Coming from same iCloud account. I read somewhere it only happens when WiFi is on, but not true. I read to delete notes from iCloud and turn back on, but in red print it says “will permanently delete all notes from iCloud account …” I can’t risk that. Not without absolute certainty from Apple this is the fix and all my notes are still there when I toggle back on! This is sooo frustrating.

Troubleshooting Crashing Notes App:


Close All Apps:

An app may not be responding, including Notes. So, close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up from the bottom-left. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.

Don't be rude —I wouldn’t know what you know and don’t know. I’m just giving you some insight here.


All that aside, some thoughts on this…

A. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone prior to this issue? If so, restore it from the backup, and see if it goes away.

I know how to close out apps. It isn’t just that it “froze up and is un responsive”. Every time you go to open Notes, it immediately closes itself right back out. It was glitching at first with just my phone once and awhile, then it started doing it on my iPad as well. It is obviously an Apple issue, because several people have had this issue, but no one has had a real answer. Some say turn off having notes backed up into the cloud, then turn back on. I even completely reset my iPhone as it were brand new last night in hopes of backing it up to an old version would fix it and my notes are all gone. Very frustrating.

"Notes App crashing on IPhone 11: My sincere apologies if it came across that way. That was not my intentions at all. These formats are hard to gauge things like that. Technology can make us crazy. Again please know it was nothing more than me typing out my skills and nothing more.

All’s Fine 🙂


So, where do things stand with this? Have you tried what I mentioned? Is the app still crashing after troubleshooting this?
