Collapsible headings in Notes and Reminders collapsible subtasks issues

I'm finding that there are issues across Apple's implementation of collapsible headings and tasks.


For Notes:

  • The feature to fold / collapse a heading is great, however it's never remembered cross device
  • Even on the same device, randomly they're un-collapsed again for no reason
  • In some instances, random white spacing appears between collapsed headings
  • Spacing is not great and needs to be adjusted across the board


For Reminders:

  • Putting aside that in smart lists, subtasks aren't available, and instead of the main task un-collapsing to show the subtasks, you're taken to the original list —not a great experience
  • However if you're working on a larger list with many tasks having subtasks, having them randomly keep unfolding / un-collapsing is even worse
  • The state of collapsing / uncollapsing isn't remembered cross device, which is fine if it's consistently remembered on the same device, but it keeps randomly un-collapsing and is a pain to keep fixing this every time


Hopefully this is fixed at some point for a more uniform experience. It's a challenge in longer notes or reminders lists.

I made an account just so I could say this is happening to me too. I just moved some stuff over from Obsidian with the intention to move everything to Apple Notes, but the headings inconsistently syncing and the random whitespaces are not something I can deal with. Please get this fixed Apple. I'd love to keep everything in first party apps.
