Improve the speed of editing Task Descriptions/Docs/Notes
e

First it takes several seconds for it to load the body, after which one has to press the edit button and wait a few more seconds. Most of my text bodies are empty, after which the next most common type is like a tweet's worth of text, I don't get why it works well on desktop but is dreadfully slow on mobile.
I do have an older phone, but it runs most of clickup just fine and can browse the web just fine, it's literally just editing the body texts that takes annoyingly long.

Task Descriptions and Docs are HORRIFIC to use on mobile (Android).
Sorry to be blunt, but this has been a problem for years now, and it gives me dread every time I have to open ClickUp on mobile. You know I am a big ClickUp fan, but this has been a big problem for a while.
- Loading either in to edit mode takes AGES. Even if you only have 1 line of text. I can see on my Android toolbar that it is downloading a huge amount of data just to open the editor. I can be on WiFi, I can be in a full-service 5G area... it doesn't matter. It takes an age. This is, BY FAR, the biggest problem.
- The non-editing preview version (so the Task View version of Task Description where you have NOT clicked in to edit) shows images in completely the wrong place. On Desktop, I could have a paragraph of text, then an image, then a paragraph of text, then an image, then a paragraph of text, then an image, etc, but on mobile, it will put those three images together, not in the right place after their text. Why??!?!?! This means I have to open every Task Description in to edit mode to see it properly, in order. Which means waiting ages again.
- The preview version also crops images. Why?!?! This means I have to open every single Task Description to see the full image. I also have to remember to do that. It makes it look like there is no more to the image, when, in fact, there is. So you are getting incorrect information, and have to remember to actually open every Task Description in to edit mode (so you have to wait for it to load for ages) to see it properly.
- You can click the image, and it makes an animation like it will open in a preview, but it doesn't. So I still have to open the Task Description in edit mode to see it.
- Good luck opening with not great signal.
- Edits you make don't show in the preview version after you make them, unless you re-open the edit version and close it again.
- Pasting in to tables gives problems. It can break the table apart.
- Task Descriptions get cut off on the bottom so you can't see the last couple of lines of text. You have to add some carriage returns to see them.

- Sometimes editing just stops working. You have to close out of the app completely and re-open it (Android).
- Sometimes the keyboard doesn't open or just disappears on you. You have to close out of the app completely and re-open it (Android).
- You can think you are editing something and it is saving okay, only to come back to the same item later and it not have saved anything and it reverts. Probably a signal issue or related to 9 or 10 above, but it should work OFFLINE first, then be syncing changes. It should not be reliant on signal to work.
- As the last sentence above, it should work OFFLINE first, then be syncing changes. It should not be reliant on signal to work.

November 2025 update
Thank you all for your feedback to improve Docs and more on mobile.
We have some updates going out soon.
- New typography that looks better and makes content easier to read on all devices.
- New font implementation that will help make docs look similar on all devices, and less jarring if you are going from a Mac to an Android phone, for example.
- New Edit button design and mechanics that make it easier to act when you enter a doc.
- Improvements to speed and monitoring so we can fix issues when Docs are loading slow for you.
Stay tuned for more updates and keep the feedback coming!

Joey will we get rich format text custom fields? I enter quite a bit of text in the custom fields and would appreciate being able to access bullet and numbering and such.

Hey, I have a few questions if you're able to help!
- What kind of phone do you have?
- Do you notice this with all Tasks or only some?
- Are you usually on Wifi or Cellular?

There is nothing else more important than bringing docs up to parity with the desktop app

I understand that critical issues are going to take precedent, but the mobile app for docs is effing unusable on mobile. It's clunky, dysfunctional, can't even create new nested documents, it's beyond a joke guys. There has been a lot of great work to improve the overall system, so I'm bearing with you on this but my patience is coming to an end.
Not one single feature request that I can see here is even remotely as important as getting the existing main feature set up to par. That's not just because it's the one I posted, but because it's the truth.

Here are some docs features that would be especially useful for our workspace:
-subscript/superscript functions
-footnotes
-granular permissions controls for who can access and edit docs
-ability to grant access to a doc while keeping doc history and comments from being visible to all viewers
-prohibit view-only users from duplicating docs (we use Docs for reference docs and SOP materials within our workspace, and we would like to make these accessible for viewing but not editing/duplicating/deleting)

I would like to be able to add/remove various widgets in the Doc view based on my needs/wants. Example: I don't have or use Wiki's. I would like to NOT see a Wiki widget in my view.
