Notes app is crashing after iOS 18 update on my iPhone

Yes, I’m having issues with notes and my keyboard is lagging in general, but especially in Notes. Also it’s crashing more frequently after the 18 update. Also strange, notes that I’ve unpinned are repinning themselves, sometimes two to three times.

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.).

Yep. Updated yesterday and notes app freezes and won’t let me open any at all. Before the update, it worked without issue. I did the cloud thing and restarted my phone and still nothing. This new update is horrible. I also hate the way they changed the apple photos app. Terrible! Thanks a lot, Apple! 👎🏻

It is really annoying and even waited until 18.1 update but not even that helped, İ guess İ dont use Notes anymore and will look for a more reliable app, incredible that apple is not doing something about it

You can let Apple know your concerns here:

You may also want to let them know about the problems you're having with your keyboard being stuck on caps lock.

Same problem with iPad Pro, so have not downloaded IOS 18 to iPhone until the problem is sorted. Will try your problem solving, thanks.

I’m seeing the same issue on my iPhone 12 Max. Apple have seriously broken this app, the fix needs to be released ASAP!

Notes app is not working after 18.0.1 update.

Still broken for me after the 18.01 update

So is this ever going to be fixed?

iPhone 16 Pro. 18.0.1. Notes app is very slow, laggy, and freezes when actioning (i.e., opening, sending, etc.).

Iphone 16 Pro here. The frustrating problem with Apple’s Notes app has not changed at all with iOS 18.1.

Apple- Please fix this! It has been going on for about six weeks now!

I followed your steps but when I turned off Sync for my iPad, I got this pop up - see screen shot. I didn’t want my Notes deleted so I tapped on Cancel.

My apps are also crashing since I upgraded to ios18 even my instagram Snapchat
