After updating to iOS 18.1.1 my Notes app is not working correctly

After updating to iOS 18.1.1 my Notes app is not working correctly.

It is very slow to respond and opening notes, pressing the … or pressing and holding does not work some of the time.

One particular, important, note will not open at all.

This note is very large but has always opened fine before the update.

I have no screen issues in any other app.

I can move the note from on my phone to iCloud but it will not open in either folder.

I have closed all apps and turned my phone off completely but this makes no difference other than I might be able to press and hold on said note or press the … to move it.

Sometimes when the note is tapped it will go a slightly different shade, as though it is opening, but nothing happens even after leaving it until my phone sleeps.


I really need access to this particular note. Does anyone have any advice?


Thank you

Same. Short notes are fine. Longer notes won’t open or they open and immediately crash . Please find a fix! I need the long notes I had. They won’t open on phone at all. I tap the specific note and it does nothing. iPad it will open but immediately crashes. Won’t open at all on Mac or in iCloud. Everything worked fine yesterday. Last night my phone automatically updated. Today I can’t open any long notes. HELP!
