Description

When using shared notes with other users the iOS app isn't automatically synchronizing changes that where made on an other device. While the android app is looking for changes and showing the latest version with the iOS app you get an message where you have to choose which version you what to choose (local or cloud). This leads to changes accidentally getting overwritten.
Further when choosing one version it results in an endless loading screen. You have to close the app and open again to enter the note.

Research direction

Start by reproducing shared-note changes made on another device in the iOS app, then test the local-versus-cloud conflict flow described in the issue. Done means changes synchronize automatically without accidental overwrites, and choosing a version does not leave the note on an endless loading screen.
