icloud notes syncing not working on ios 12.

Hi, after installing ios 12 on both iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Pro 9.7”, the icloud notes is not synced anymore. The spinning circle remains forever, and nothing updated on other devices. Please advise how to fix it. Thanks.

Hello Axel_TT,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with iCloud Notes not syncing since upgrading the iOS. I am happy to check this out.


I recommend going to Settings > [Your name] > iCloud and turning the slider for Notes off.


This will stop Notes from syncing, but the Notes in iCloud will be saved and will re-sync when you turn this back on. Restart your device: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Then, go ahead and turn the slider back on. Settings > [Your name] > iCloud. This will get everything re-syncing again. It may take time for everything to sync properly, especially if you have other information syncing with iCloud at the same time.


If you still have an issue, try on another wireless network, or using your cellular data. To use cellular only, turn Wi-Fi off in Settings > Wi-Fi. Be aware, this will use your cellular data until you re-enable Wi-Fi in Settings. Thanks and have a wonderful day.

The Apple specialistic support told me to log off from any iCloud device and try to create and modify notes to check if the changing were synced with notes on icloud.com. I had no succcess so yesterday they sent me a icloud debugging profile to collect a log with all the system processess, the engineers will check it and give me a response. It's not a widespread problem, very weird.

Also i have some trouble with iCloud keychain, when i log off from icloud on the mac some password disappears from the ones i see on my iPhone and reappear when i log in again, so they are not really on the cloud...

Same here, tried all of the above but still the same, and I did a restore via dfu and iTunes to install iOS 12 and didn't load any backup :( when I modify notes on other devices the modifications appear on iOS 12 but all the actions I do on iOS 12 are invisible to other devices. And the loading circle is spinning cluelessly.

Any idea? Other iPhone with iOS 10.3.3 and mac 10.13.6 still working fine.
