“Yes! It is so frustrating. I am wondering if you found a solution. 😩 Edit to add: Looks like I need to open the scheduling link panel every so often. Apparently this is a known bug within Notion where active recurring scheduling links occasionally lose sync or fail to recognize current availability. Simply opening the scheduling pane in the app forces a refresh of your cached availability window, which resolves the broken link on the backend.”
“oh ive been seeing this problem with the notion app alone, and nothing else. Mouse scrolls perfectly everywhere and anywhere, except for the notion windows app (dunno if the browser version might have the same issue as well). What I've foun surprising is... I haven't been able to contact notion support in any way. There's even some "notion support" links on their webpage that i can click, but nothing happens XD”
“Sounds like a Notion desktop app bug with horizontal scrolling support. Try updating the app and mouse drivers, but it’s probably best to report it directly to Notion support so they can track and fix it”

“My Notion widget completely broke in the latest beta. And yup, I'm having this issue on the latest iOS release, too. (I have my iPad on the public beta; phone is on the latest release)”
“hey guys i am new to notion i create a page in new tab of existing page i wrote the thing but after sometime it just got vanished like i searched for that page first it was showing no access after that i refreshed it then it got vansihed submitted by /u/MoneyAd9186 [link] [comments]”
Here's what their support said. https://preview.redd.it/0v1jtsaj71eh1.jpeg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce0ce2cdc7f5f8cfd1bcf99d6eaa8a0d41723f84
“Me too. Just becomes unresponsive in a page on the iOS app and I need to force close it. Getting frustrating”
“both notion so and app notion com are on endless loading loops in all pages for me for the past 1-2 weeks. Honestly stopped using notion because of it :D, if I need anything urgent I check from my phone. Does anyone have the same issue? and how did you solve it? submitted by /u/Odd-Jury4884 [link] [comments]”
“I am new to notion and I saw v cool widgets on youtube but most of them were from widgetbox which has sadly shut down, would love any alternative links y'all have? I'm just looking for simple clocks and calendar, no fancy widgets. Thanks in advancee submitted by /u/goddesssofmischief [link] [comments]”
“Ok so this has been an issue for a few months now and i tried literally all the steps that were recommended to me to fix it, but none of it worked. I fear that my workspace has been deleted from the servers or something. I tried clearing my browser cache, using the mobile and desktop app instead of the web browser page: Still nothing. I don't have a VPN or something that would interfere with it. It keeps telling me to refresh the site, which i do, but then it won't load. What's weird”
“Usually bugs regards any calendar integration. I can see 3 of 14 calendars in Notion itself while Notion Calendar shows them all. Recurring links are broken for me as well. I'd also appreciate more control and power over automations and not just AI bullshit. I'd be greatful if they'd focus more on the actual tool than on new AI features.”
“The weird auto resizing of images. Tabs on a page…like what purpose do they actually serve other than database views? When the feature first came out, I thought we would be able to have tabbed PAGES. No AI for plus users which is insane. Still no custom colors in the big ‘26. Which is something we’ve been asking for for years. Still not able to hide page titles in databases in the big ‘26 as well. You can embed the calendar into a page on the web but not the desktop app…..what?”
“If you want the "AI stuff" turned off, you can email Notion Support, and I've heard that they will do that for you.”
“Uploading photos into any plain text area is so annoying with this app. When I turn it into a numbered list, or change the background a color for a certain block, I then can't layer images into multiple columns. Not only that, but resizing and moving almost always takes forever. WHY submitted by /u/OldGuarantee3858 [link] [comments]”
[Notion] ★ 1/5 (v1.7.321) — Each update makes the app slower. Critical features get hidden behind AI features - like search. IOS widgets are super buggy. The share widget is completely broken.…
“Anyone experiencing the same? This renders notion useless for my use case. It's been months and I've basically left Notion hoping it'll be fixed when I return and it's still broken. submitted by /u/Individual-Handle603 [link] [comments]”
“This is the biggest workflow killer in Notion imo! See the video, each time we click on previous, we are losing the scroll position. Those small frictions are so painful as they happen dozens of times each day. I think the mobile app has the same issue btw. Please Notion, can you store/recall the scroll position? submitted by /u/Blacknoise_21 [link] [comments]”
“i faced the same issue on my mac, now i use firefox and orion browser in order to access my notion board 😊”
“Wow yeah, glad I'm not the only one. I've been having login issues with the phone app for a couple weeks already, but now the widget won't even open the app for me.”

“I noticed this too. I love being able to add dashboard views into a tab. It helps a lot with controlling tab sprawl.”
“I am facing this problem nowadays. What is the fix? submitted by /u/ColdRegular77 [link] [comments]”
“A while back I went looking for some old pages and they were just… gone. No idea when it happened. Nothing in version history. And I'd noticed far too late for the trash — or anyone — to help. That one stung. I didn't want to ever feel that again, so I built myself a fix: a small tool that copies every page I care about into a private GitHub repo, every night . Each page becomes a readable file, and GitHub keeps every night's version forever — so if something quietly vanishes, whethe”
“Suddenly I cant share to Notion from any app in IOS (26.5). When I hit the Notion icon in the ”share sheet screen” of for example a Reddit post or a Chrome site nothing happens. Other sharing works fine. Have updated IOS, rebooted phone, reinstalled Notion, nothing works! Help? submitted by /u/FarbrorMelkor [link] [comments]”
