iOS 16 Notes App Crashing, How to Fix? (Works on 16.6 or Higher)

The Notes app is crashing on iOS 16. Long-term users have complained about the built-in application crashing reports. We have compiled a list of official solutions to counter the Note app crashing issue in the latest iPhone and iPad.

Why do my iPhone Notes keep crashing?

Apple developed the Notes app for iOS and macOS machines. You can write and save information in text format and share it across the platforms. I have mentioned a few viable reasons why the Notes app is crashing in iOS 16.

iCloud Synchronization:

The Notes is a cross-platform application available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The iCloud plays a role in keeping information up-to-date. The iPhone or iPad is unable to contact the iCloud servers or unable to synchronize the servers.

iOS Bugs:

The latest iOS 16 has many shortcomings because it’s a new edition. The software is having complications keeping up with the demands. Give some time to the in-house developers. They will release a patch to fix the app crashing issues.

Notes App Bug:

Apple developed the Notes app, and it’s an integral part of the ecosystem. The application might have bugs or glitches causing the crashes. I have shown you a workaround to fix the issue.

Connection Error:

The Notes connect with the iCloud servers to fetch the latest updates. Check your internet connectivity and see if there are any problems with the connection. The internet connection should be stable.

iCloud Servers Downtime:

The Notes app connection may have dropped due to server downtime. The iCloud servers rely on the service provider. You don’t have many options, but I have shown you how to confirm the doubt. Find out whether the service is working or having issues on the other side.

FIX: Notes App Crashing in iOS 16

Many iPhone users have a Mac computer. Use the Mac to access the Notes information and confirm the doubts. The iOS 16 is the problem if the application works on the macOS machine. Apply the solution as I have directed and get the best results.

Restart iPhone or iPad

Most smartphones don’t get an opportunity to restart the software. We keep the devices turned on for weeks and months. Apple has optimized the software with the user’s behavior in mind. Don’t let the idea get over your head, and continue using the iPhone or iPad without giving the device rest. Let me show you how to restart an iOS 16 device without a working Side button.

1. Tap the “Settings” app.

2. Swipe down and select “General” settings.

3. Swipe down.

4. Tap the “Shutdown” option.

5. Move the slider and turn off the device.

The iOS 16 device loads the Apple drivers, services, and background processes. Most of the software-related bugs/glitches go away after the restart.

Check iCloud Server Status

Apple expanded its business in many countries. The iCloud might be down in your region. Let me show you how to check the Apple server status on your iPhone.

1. Open Safari browser.

2. Go to Apple iCloud server status webpage.

3. Apple engineers have fixed two issues today.

4. Check the issues.

5. Check the operating issues.

6. Find “iCloud Notes” in the list.

7. Swipe down, and your country name should be at the bottom of the page.

The green bubble indicates that the Apple service is online. The yellow and red bubble signifies that there is a problem with the online service.

Delete The Notes App Data

Delete the Notes app data from the iOS 16 device. The iCloud has a copy in the cloud storage. You can re-download the data on the device later. Relieve the iPhone app from all burdens and synchronize later. Let me show you how to delete the Notes on the iOS device.

2. Tap the “Remove App” button.

Open the built-in application and allow the services to restore the data via iCloud. You don’t have to do anything because iCloud will sync the account. Follow the #3 tutorial to enable the Notes in iCloud.

Update iOS Version

I never ask the readers to update the iOS version blindly. Newer iOS updates can adversely affect the battery or functionality. Follow three rules and avoid problems in the future.

a. Update the iOS version after a few days.

b. Go through news and online videos to learn about it.

c. Check what the experts have to say, and it should be specific to your device.

Charge your iPhone to 99% and connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Reset Network Settings

Incorrect network settings can create problems in the iOS 16 device. Create a data backup with iCloud and iTunes. One mistake can wipe out the data on the iPhone or iPad. Maintain a minimum 80% charge before resetting the network settings.

1. Tap the “Settings” app.

2. Tap the “General” settings.

3. Swipe down.

4. Tap the “Transfer or Reset iPhone” option.

5. Tap the “Reset” option.

8. Tap the “Reset Network Settings” option.

The smartphone lands on the Apple logo with a progress bar. Give the iPhone or iPad a few minutes to bring you back on the lock screen. Do not force close the iOS device.
