Notes App lagging after iOS 18 Update

I turned off the internet, but large notes (>130,000 characters) still slow down, it is impossible to work. Turning off the internet did not affect it.

What do I do though, I donot have an Apple Pencil), and I am having problems with notes app, also ?

If I uninstall it and re-install it, will I lose everything in my iphone 12 iOS 18.1 Notes app ?

I always find it very interesting how some users have problems with extensive, long notes in particular. For me, the lags have nothing to do with the size or length of the notes.

It’s 11/29/24, and this issue has not been resolved in iOS 18.1.1

has anyone found a temporary fix?

For me, only notes with a large number of characters slow down. Notes with few characters do not slow down.

Maybe there aren't many people with 130,000 character notes, so most are doing well.

Where else can I type a bunch of stuff into my computer and then have it at my fingertips on my phone when I am out and about? I doubt I am giving up on notes anytime soon. Hoping for a fix

I can only encourage everyone affected to report their problem with Notes to Apple customer service. As long as there is no pressure to suffer...

Hello, did you use Handwritten Notes perhaps? I am still wondering, if there is any possible way of creating collapsible sections in between handwritings. Seems like notes does not provide that feature as far as I have seen. If you found a way, please let me know. I have huge handwritten notes and that would help a lot:)

Looks who is talking , you just typed iOS 28, instead of 18 ( actually is iOS 18.1 now, as of November 24,2024) Don't throw stones at Apple app developers when you didnot even proofread your own response to

You have the same macbook air M1,2020 and Iphone 12 that I have. So that shows that it is not just our own notes app that is messed up .

It shows that it is the APPLE COMPANY'S NOTES APP developers ( or whatever you call the employees that make the apps and make the updates.

So far, I have not received ANY information from Apple Notes App developers as to what I can do to fix the Notes app problems .

Has anyone else heard from the developers for an answer?

I am desperate enough to find all the formatted notes to treat them according to the exclusion principle. But there is no search for e.g. notes with the heading levels. Or for notes that contain an enumeration. So if you have thousands of notes, you can do virtually nothing. 

Here, Apple. I found a solution:
