We have noticed a bug in iOS 13.2 which can completely lock the filesystem. A restart of your device should fix the problem.

Not what I wanted to hear from my favorite iOS word processor’s support team. I had stumbled into a bug that left me unable to edit, open, or create plaintext documents.

I grew up using Windows 3 and System 7. I have a higher tolerance for “shit happens, hit the save button” than most.

But after a month of rebooting my phone every couple days to edit plaintext documents, even I’m out of patience.
