iPhone Notes creates constant duplicates, how to fix?

Will duplicate notes on iPhone (including iPhone SE/6s/6s Plus) produce duplicate entries after syncing with iTunes or after editing notes? It drives us crazy when there are hundreds of duplicate notes. Many iPhone/iPad users are looking for solutions to this annoying problem and even updating to the latest iOS 9.3.1 cannot make things right.

"I keep a lot of notes on my iPhone, but when I connect to iTunes on my Mac and sync, about 3/4 of the notes (not all of them!) are duplicated on the phone. If I manually enter and remove the duplicates, the next time I sync, they will be duplicated again, appearing in pairs in the Notes list. The content of the note will be the same as the creation date. This is crazy. How can I prevent this from happening?"

"Love the default Notes app in iOS, but whenever I edit a note - whether on iPhone or iPad - it only needs to be edited once Another copy can be completed. Why and how can I stop it from doing this?"
