What do I do when Notes app is crashing on iOS 10.0.1?

[Antron]

Today I noticed that when I open the Notes.app it crashes and I cannot open it. Anyone else having this problem today?

I know its kind of obvious but have you tried a software reset? That is hold the power and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Yes I have. If I turn on airplane mode it doesn't crash but when on data or wifi it crashes. Seems it has do with with accessing iCloud maybe.

Maybe try deleting it and reinstalling it from the Apple Store?

Wow. Didn't think about doing that since it is a stock app but now with iOS 10 we can delete stock apps. And...it works now

Thanks!

Some you can, some you can't now.

Me too! What's up with that? I depend on my notes.

Did you lose any notes in the process of deleting and reinstalling the app?

No I didn't.

Ok, I found the fix!

- Under Settings, > iCloud I turned off link to notes. It then deleted all of the notes from my phone (scarry).
then turned back on the link to Notes.

- When opening Notes, it re-downloaded all your notes. It seems that something got corrupted and was crashing the sync/app.

I'm glad this was an easy fix... but it did take me a while to think of it.
