Notes app on iPhone closing randomly

Hi I’m on iOS 16.6.1 (up to date) and my app keeps closing itself after less than a minute of being open. I’ve tried restarting phone and doesn’t seem to work. I also have plenty of free memory left on my phone. I’ve read about uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but most of my notes are only on my phone so don’t want to lose them and am hoping for a fix that might not involve that. Thanks everyone.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Hello Hamela17,  

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  


Which apps are you experiencing this issue with? If you keep your notes synced with iCloud, they should be safe in iCloud storage even if you reinstall the Notes app on one device.
