Missing note

I recently edited a note in the NOTES app and now it has disappeared. It is not in the deleted folder. Since I don't use iCloud for my notes, Apple can find it. I erased the phone and restored it with a back-up date yet the note is still gone. Any idea where it can be?

Note disappeared A note disappeared when I was using my iPad. It was synced with my iCloud but it isn't in the recently deleted folder. I followed all the recommendations in the article, none of which worked. I tried to find it on my phone and in the iCloud web app. I haven't changed any account settings recently, but I still tried syncing Notes with all of my accounts. No luck. I also tried resetting my iPad, which brought the note back for a moment, but it disappeared again without ever fully loading. What else can I try?

Check your email accounts that you had but removed. Because many of the accounts have notes synced like Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo etc.
You may have shared the Notes over AirDrop
You may have sent the Notes via iMessage or email to someone
