How do I fix delays in iCloud shared Notes updates?

We’ve done all the suggestions—from upgrading icloud storage, to updating software. Nothing seems to work to get the shared notes updates in real-time. Is there a team working on resolving this?

Upgrade your Notes? iCloud upgrade? For the first time I am trying to share (receive) a Note from another person. (FWIW, I'm using an iPhone SE 2nd Gen, iOS 16.1.1) Up to this time I have used Notes on my iPhone (just on my iPhone) without any problems. Now, for sharing, I enabled Notes in Settings > iCloud > Show All > Notes. All seemed fine. But when I try to open the Note that my trainer texted to me I get the following message: Upgrade Your Notes To open shared notes, you'll need to upgrade your iCloud account. Does this mean I have to upgrade to a PAID iCloud plan (iCloud+) just to share Notes?

Shared notes not updating on iPhone 17 pro My wife and I have been sharing notes for years and now when she updates a shared note, it will not update on my phone. The only way it works if we are both on the shared note at the same time. If I delete the note and she reshares it, I get the old unedited note! I googled this issue and tried several fixes with no improvement. I have tried the following: restarted phone switched notes in iCloud on and off created a brand new shared note tried different networks and cell data extremely frustrating! thanks in advance

iCloud is not designed for real time sync
