Can't see handwritten notes in iCloud Notes after upgrading to ipadOS 16

I just purchased an ipad mini 6 2 weeks ago and it came with ipados 15. I made some hand written notes using Apple Pencil and I could see my hand written notes in iCloud Notes using web browser in my Windows PC. But after upgrading to ipadOS 16 I just realized that all handwritten notes made after the upgrade are not visible in iCloud Notes, it just showing a grey box.


Can some please help me on this?

Got exactly the same problem here on an iPad Air 5th Gen running ipadOS 16.1.

The handwritten notes are no longer visible in iCloud Web.

They just show up like in the screenshot posted earlier by Daniel-Mi.


Also there seem to be some other problems I encountered with the new ipadOS 16 notes app:

  1. After taking handwritten notes for longer periods of time (e.g. >45 minutes) the writing starts lagging behind the pen movement and eventually sometimes the screen flickers purple. When erasing some handwriting and redrawing over the same area, the erased strokes flicker through. This is accompanied by the iPad battery draining pretty quickly (-30% in 1 hour) and the device getting unusually warm.
  2. The issue in 1. seems 'fixable' by restarting the app. Only problem being is that sometimes doing that, the last taken notes just disappear and are lost.
  3. I've already tried reinstalling the notes app and restarting the iPad. Got me to nowhere new.


I hope they fix this by a future update.
