iOS 27 update breaks PDF export of notes with tables in Notes app

Now, the tables disappear when I try to export the note, forcing me to find workarounds such as transferring the note to Pages or another application just to create a PDF that previously could be generated directly from Notes. This adds unnecessary steps, takes considerably more time, and disrupts my workflow.

Where were the Notes? The pic below is self-explanatory.

The Notes app on an iPhone does not treat all Notes accounts in the same way. There is an important distinction between iCloud Notes, On My iPhone Notes, and Notes associated with email accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or Outlook that have been added to the iOS Notes app.

iCloud Notes and On My iPhone Notes are native Apple Notes storage locations and support the full range of features provided by the Apple Notes app, although some features can still depend on the specific note type or iOS version. iCloud Notes are synchronized through iCloud across devices signed in to the same Apple Account with Notes enabled, while On My iPhone notes remain stored locally on that particular iPhone.

In contrast, when you add a Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or Outlook account to the iPhone and enable Notes, the Notes app is essentially providing an interface to the Notes service supplied by that email provider. These accounts do not necessarily support the same Notes features, organization, synchronization behavior, or data structure as Apple Notes.

For example, features available with iCloud or On My iPhone Notes may not be available, or may behave differently, when the note is stored under an email account. Depending on the provider, you may encounter differences involving folders, attachments, formatting, checklists, scanning, collaboration, locking, tags, smart folders, sharing, and synchronization.

Therefore, simply seeing Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or Outlook under Settings > Apps > Notes > Notes Accounts does not mean that those accounts provide an Apple Notes experience equivalent to iCloud Notes.

The important point is that the iOS Notes app is a common interface for several different Notes storage services; it does not make those services identical. The capabilities of a note are ultimately determined by the account and service where that note is stored.

If you require the full Apple Notes feature set and consistent synchronization across Apple devices, iCloud Notes is generally the appropriate storage location. If you use Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or Outlook for Notes, you should check the respective provider's capabilities rather than assuming that every Apple Notes feature will be supported.

Exactly the same for me. But not just that bullet points disappear too. Only bold appears to remain as any kind of format.

And I’m replying here having just updated to 27.01. Still no printing of tables or bullett points in Notes. I feel like the Notes app is not that important to them, but selling new 18 pros are (Apple?)

There is no mention of the Notes App on About iOS 27 Updates - Apple Support (IN)

Not every issue an individual encounters on their device can be attributed to an iOS update. If the update itself were the root cause, then every device running that same version of iOS would exhibit the identical problem. In such a scenario, the forums would be flooded with countless posts reporting the same malfunction, creating an unmistakable wave of complaints that no one could possibly overlook. The absence of such widespread reports strongly indicates that the issue is not systemic, but rather specific to the device in question.

I don't think I clearly explained the point I wanted to make. I'm talking about how the Notes app behaves now after updating to iOS 27. This is how tables used to be exported in the first screenshot. Second screenshot is the same Note after iOS 27 update

Absolutely not! My coworkers—some of whom still haven't updated to iOS 27, yet have access to the same notes containing tables—*can* still export the tables as usual; they’re afraid to switch to iOS 27 because they don't want to break that feature. Every single one of us who installed the new update is already experiencing problems. So, it’s not just an issue with "certain devices."
