Dumb of me to use Apple's in-house app, "Notes". Upgrading to 9.0 was an improvement? Really? What are the big-thinkers smoking? I now not only have 3 folders containing some of my notes 1) iCloud, 2) gmail - one of my email accounts, and 3) On My iPhone. There are duplications aplenty on #1, a few notes on #3, but worst of all, about 1/3 of all previous notes vanished when I upgraded. AppleCare tried to recover and discovered they couldn't. The AppleCare rep suggested that I purchase a third-party app that she uses, which she said was free. Of course not! It's 2.99/month. Dummie me had a lot of passwords stored in Notes. Even though I regularly backed up my iPhone 6s to iTunes, that apparently had been a waste of my time upon upgrading. A David Copperfield trick - vanished into cyberspace. My humble correction is to store all my passwords, usernames, and all other insignificant notes on - OMG - paper. I can hardly wait for the next upgrade. Ain't gonna happen with this girl.
