A BUG IN THE STANDARD APPLE NOTES APP

Yep, me too !

So unfortunately, it’s getting to be these days, that Apple is no different then android or PC …. with nothing but crashes and bugs… very sad 😞

sever months ago my phone updated and ever since, the Notes app has been operating different. It doesn’t allow you to select a page in full screen. Nor am I able to add a scan to a selected note.

Am I just that old that I can’t understand?

Can I go back to the previous Notes app?

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities ABHISHEKNALWAR,

The following steps specifically address issues where an app might close unexpectedly, and often provides a solution:

If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, try this.

1: Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

2: Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

3: Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

4: Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

 If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open 

We hope this helps!

Hi ABHISHEKNALWAR,

We can understand. Let's check some settings for the Notes app. If you were connected to a network when writing your note, it may have synced.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Accounts > Do any of your accounts show Notes are included?

Are you showing iCloud with Notes synced? If so, at Settings > Notes > Default Account > Is iCloud selected?

If you have other email accounts, besides iCloud, set to sync Notes, then check those webmail pages and see if your unfinished Note is shown there.

If you only have iCloud selected to sync Notes, and it's also shown as the Default Account, check the iCloud webpage to see if that unfinished Note is there.

Take care!

Yes, its the issue with the app. I am using it on ipad and iphone. Its behaving funny. There was a handwritten note from my ipad that i checked on my phoNe a night before and later in morning the note was noT there. I checked the entire app thoroughly.

now last night i wrote another note and in morning it was not there but the note from previous nigh came back. (Under Quick note menu)

also, sometimes while writing with my pencil 2 on my ipad pro m1, I use eraser to erase something and later while writing, I see that erased lines flashing back. Also, one time I saw purple colour flash on notes screen (using stage manager) while taking a note in (notes app)

You cannot. However, there are hundreds (thousands?) of third-party note apps available in the App Store. Perhaps one of them would suit you better.

Hey there ABHISHEKNALWAR, 

At this point, it would be best for you to contact Apple Support for assistance.  

Have a good one!
