Edits on iCloud notes on Windows PC (Google Chrome) not saving

Hi everyone,


I have been using IOS/iPhone Notes on windows (using icloud.com/notes). I use this for daily to-do's and some work projects.


Since a few weeks however, the iCloud version of Notes in google chrome on Windows (or any browser) does not finish saving the Note after I make changes to the note. It gets stuck and I keep seeing the word "Opslaan.." (see below), which is Dutch for "Saving..".



I haven't found a solution for this and this is pretty annoying because the edits I make to my notes on my Windows PC are not saved, so it is basically unusable.


Has anyone experienced the same thing? And have you found a solution?


Thanks in advance!


PS it says I'm using an iPhone 6s, but I'm actually using an iPhone XR on IOS 17.3.1

I fixed this by copying the content of the note to a new note. Apparently something was wrong with the original note..

Holy monkey, that totally worked! (Using the same note between iOS 17.3.1 and Chrome 122.0.6261.129 x infinity.)


I'd been using the same note for years, and after copying and pasting the content into a new note, it started saving and syncing perfectly. What I never even noticed, however, was when I edited the old note, it was actually causing all of my notes to get stuck with the "Saving..." notification in the upper right corner. My guess is this had something to do with updates causing older notes to no longer be compatible with the newer OS. (Whatever the cause, it made me want to uppercut my monitor so hard it would start speaking in tongues.)

I came here after googling the issue and after clearing my browser cookies and site data on the work PC and the issue still persisting (only initial edit made inside iCloud.com Notes window on Chrome browser is reflected on other devices and then anymore edits on Chrome on PC don’t sync to my iPhone Notes app).


I occasionally get this issue too and often forget to copy the contents across a new note (as I think this is how I ‘solved it’ last time 😒) so I appreciate others detailing what worked for them 👍🏻


I myself record work notes as a log (and so gets longer and longer with past weeks’ work recorded) and I think what happens is the note gets too large and so now I just need to keep renaming one as an ‘archive’ with dates and then copy the current week into an new note and start another 3 months or so of logged work until it starts having sync issues.
