Lost List in Notes App
I created an extensive grocery list using the Notes app. When I went to the store yesterday and checked off the first item, the entire list vanished. What happened and how can I get it back?

Have you tried going to the Recently Deleted Folder? You might have accidentally deleted the note. If not, you might have deleted the texts on the note. You could have undo this by shaking your phone but since this happened yesterday, I doubt it can still be recovered by undoing it.

I found this article on Apple: If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
And I hope it helps.
You can also contact Apple Support if you have time to troubleshoot the issue.
Thank you! You're so very appreciative!
I am not a very techy person to give you an exact explanation but you could try to inquire on Apple by clicking the contact support on the upper right part of this page.
I see, I think its a better option to use Reminders. I am hoping you are able to build your grocery list. Despite this pandemic, I am very glad to say that me and my family are very well. Hope you and your family are well too.
Thank you Patricia. I didn't delete the note but the entire contents of it are. It was a very long grocery list, I was at the store and when I checked off the first item the entire list disappeared. That's all I did, no delete key, just the contents vanished. I had been working on that list for days!! If you or anyone else have any suggestions I would truly appreciate.
Thank you for the article Patricia. It contained a lot of good information, but stlll no clear reason for why the entire contents of my "Grocery List" folder to instantly vanish when I selected the first item to indicate I had put the item in the grocery cart. The items were a large number so easy to locate if they had been in the "Deleted" folder but it's like they never existed. I'm very frustrated and now I don't trust Notes for building a grocery list. I really think this problem has something to do with unchecking an item in the list because that's when all of the contents vanished (not deleted). Thanks for listening and again, I do appreciate your input!
Patricia, thank you once again for your help and advice. Yes I do have two email accounts, but I do not have the password to my primary account on the phone so I don't that's it. However, I have switched from Notes to Reminders and, so far I have not had a problem (slowly) rebuilding my grocery list.
Hope you are well.
Thank you Patricia for all of your help. You are correct, I'm having no problem using Remnders.
Glad everyone is safe and well at your house. We are doing well also.
Stay safe!
