Note collaboration - Can't see updates

My friend and I both have iOS 10 with a 6s and 7+. I recently shared a note with her for collaboration, but I can't see any of her updates/edits. She can see all of mine, but I can't see any of hers. Any idea what could be causing this issue as how to fix it? I am the note owner and have not placed any restrictions or stopped sharing.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

Hi MountaneerMarine,


I understand that you've recently shared a note in the Notes app with a friend, but aren't seeing the changes that they've made on your device. You may need to make sure that you've shared the note for collaborative purposes by tapping User uploaded file , as using User uploaded file will share the desired note with another person (as well as your subsequent edits), but their edits will not appear on your copy of the note.

Invite someone to collaborate on a note through Mail or Messages. Or copy a link to the note and send it to them any other way you like. Then they can open your note and start editing, just like that.

  1. Open the iCloud note that you want to share.
  2. Tap or click User uploaded file .
  3. Choose how you'd like to send your invitation.
  4. On your Mac, click Share.

Want to know if you're already sharing a note? Look for User uploaded fileat the top of your note or User uploaded file in the notes list.

Regarding notes shared with User uploaded file :

Want to send your note to someone but not collaborate? Tap User uploaded file at the top of the note, then choose how you want to share it.

If you accidentally delete a note that someone else shared with you, you can re-download the Notes file from the original sharing invitation. When you re-download the note, it contains all of the changes to that note up to that point in time.

Share your notes


All my best!
