I’ve been writing about technology for two decades and am routinely struck by how the sector swings from startling innovation to persistent repetitiveness. My areas of specialty are wearable tech, cameras, home entertainment and mobile technology.

There are few things more alarming in the world of technology than opening an app, a file, a document on your screen to find it empty. You ask yourself, “Where’s my game save/crucial bank account detail/best review I ever wrote?” This unpleasant feeling has been hitting iPhone users with an empty Notes app. Here’s what seems to be going on, and the thankfully straightforward fix if it happens to you.The first thing to do is not panic.

Celebrities React To Trump Win: Roseanne Barr Says She’d Work For Trump, Billie Eilish Says He ‘Hates Women’Mayo goes on to say that while he’s running iOS 18.2, it seems to affect more than that: “This is a relatively widespread bug that impacts iPhones running any iOS 18 version.” There’s currently no evidence it’s connected to the newly arrived

It happened on the same day that he had accepted new iCloud terms and conditions on the iPhone. It’s not happening to everyone—I did this recently and my notes are all still there, thankfully—but if it does happen here’s what to do.For some users, it sorts itself out, with notes reappearing soon after. For me, I’ve experienced this in Notes on the iPad, but a blank page is restored to glory just by clicking on the sidebar button.If a moment of patience doesn’t solve things, Mayo recommends this plan of action.

Here, you’ll find a button marked Sync this iPhone, which may take a few seconds to appear. Check the toggle is switched to on. Wait a couple of moments, Mayo says, and when you re-open the Notes app you should find your notes are all downloading to the iPhone again. It could take time for them all to reappear, depending on how many you have. I’m up to 1,832 notes, since you ask.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
