Notes app is crashing after iOS 18 update on my iPhone

Is anyone else experiencing problems with their notes following the iOS 18 update? Until yesterday my notes app was working fine and I was able to use it like I’ve always done. Since yesterday on September 17, 2024, the app’s been completely unusable and you can’t click on your notes without the app freezing or crashing.

I’m having the same issues, especially with larger notes. With smaller notes it lets me open them, but after I open one note and then try to open another one it just freezes and won’t even register me touching the screen. I have a 14 plus, updated this morning.

Mine has been unusable across all my devices, iPhone 15 Pro Max and new IPad 13. Started with iOS 18 and persists. I have tried all the same things others have tried, turning off sync, deleting all notes, deleting the app, turned off handoff, tried it in airplane mode. Tried small notes, tried new notes. No matter what, my notes apps will crash in a minute and a half or less. The has been a major blow to my work.

I just notices how Note has degenerated on iOS 18. If I have my iPad connected to the Internet, Notes will not write tp the cloud - then write to the screen. That is like 1980s telnet. If I turn off Internet, then it is OK.


NOTE for EVERYONE. APPLE Does not pay attention to these forums. If you have a problem, call Apple Support, get a ticket, reference this list.


Otherwise the issues are never logged, never get to the product managers, never get to customer support.


I’ll get my ticket in this afternoon and share (sharing each other tickets is one way to building community support to get Apple to fix problems.).
