WHY did Shared notes stopped updating reliably.

My husband and I use shared notes for years but now the don’t update reliably. Sometimes they sync but mostly not. Only thing that changed is we recently updated to iOS 16

Hey JB2023,


Have you noticed this happens when you're using cellular data only, connected to a Wi-Fi network, or both? That could help to know if it's possibly related to your network. In your troubleshooting, have you tried to unsure the note and share it again to see if that helps to refresh the settings? Just in case, here's how to do that: Share notes and collaborate on iPhone - Apple Support


"Change sharing settings

  • Manage a shared note: Tap the Collaborate button, then tap Manage Shared Note.
  • Manage a shared folder: Tap the Folder Actions button, then tap Manage Shared Folder.
  • Remove people: Tap the collaborator you want to remove, then tap Remove Access.
  • Change access and permission settings: To change the settings for all collaborators, tap Share Options. To change the settings for an individual collaborator, tap their name.
  • Stop sharing: When you choose this option, the shared note or folder is deleted from the devices of the other participants."


Keep us posted.


Take care!
