My Notes app is huge since I use it for everything under the sun. It's 65GB because of all the attachments and literally thousands of notes. Recently the performance of my older iPhone is brutal. I literally have to reboot several times a day and the phone self reboots into Safe Mode sometimes. Looking back, I can see things started getting sketchy last year. I know it's because of the Notes app because I know the Notes app is especially memory hungry due to special fonts and attachments and CoreData. Plus things get wonky every time I se the Notes app. These older phones cannot multitask without losing your place in an app e.g. Safari or the Notes app. If you use another app and return to the first app you're pretty much guaranteed to lose your spot. This is par for the course with older phones that have less memory.
Should I remove Notes from my iCloud services on my iPhone just for performance sake and start a new Notes Folder and start over? How can I remove the current 65GB behemoth but still set up a new Notes folder and sync without syncing the 65GB version?
