Icloud website notes not saving

Same issue here too, only it's been happening for many months. If I open the note I can type exactly 1 thing and it will save, (technically say "Edited"), but the second I pause, even to go and correct a typo, it immediately says "Saving..." and never saves. It's incredibly frustrating as I do all my meal planning and grocery lists in Notes. I type it all up on the browser version and access it on my phone at the grocery, and my iPad when cooking. It has screwed me over at the grocery so many times.

I have attempted using a different browser and that doesn't fix it. I have attempted creating entirely new notes (instead of using the same one and updating it), and that doesn't fix it. It is beyond ridiculous from Apple that something this simple continues to be broken. I live or die by my notes, as I always say, and for them to repeatedly fail this spectacularly is incredibly frustrating.

Hello Apple. It's still broken.

Same here, but it has been going on for a few weeks in my case, while it is unusable since two days. Multiple notes and other entries can and could not be saved and were deleted. Please apple, fix this immediately...

I first noticed it last weekend, the 16th. The web version loads updates made with my phone or iPad but will not save updates made on the web.

Same here, still broken (tested on firefox, edge and chrome) ! That's inoperable, Apple is immature : have some "courage" to just drop the non apple device support if you dont wanna fix anything..

No I'm still having this issue - it is beyond frustrating. Has anyone spoken to someone at Apple about this?

Well there is a change at least - but it seems to work only as long as you >

a) Work on one page only

b) Do not delete anything

Whenever I disregard one of the two above, newer changes will not get saved and you cant leave the website without confirming to abandon all changes. I have given up hope on this as this seems to have no priority and I will move over to a different service provider. ICloud services have really become a mess in recent times.

Same as several users say: No matter if i try editing now notes or old ones. No matter which browser I use. No matter which OS i am on: saving notes is inconsistent - sometimes one edit will be saved while the rest is never saving. This has been going on for a very long time - more than just months! It is beyone me how this is not fixed - or a clear fix is not readily available on the web, as this appears to be the only place for support from apple. come on, please...

This seems to be working now!!! As of this week (mid July 2024), they finally fixed it. I've had to work around the issue every week now for 4 months (by copying the entire note, then reloading the page, then pasting the whole note, so that all cumulative changes are saved when it shows that initial "Saving..." notice). Just today I noticed the "Saving..." goes away like it should and reloading the page no longer warns about losing changes! All of my ongoing changes are now saved as I go, just like they should.

Wanted to reply here as a heads up, just in case anyone else was waiting for this to be fixed!

There's another thread on this:

iCloud Notes will not save. Windows 11 d… - Apple Community

Apple don't seem to be doing anything. I'm having the issue with Firefox, Edge and Chrome.. definitely an Apple issue rather than a Windows issue.

I believe it's been not saving for me for about a month. Please help!

Thank you!

Same issue! It's so frustrating. I tried contacting support and they were clueless!

Never mind - it worked once. Now it is no longer saving again.

Yep, it works once, but then still the issue

Adding my voice to this. Same behavior as described below -- first save works OK and then just "Saving..." and no actual saves.

Super annoying that such a basic task as "saving a file" has been broken for over a month now.
