If you were syncing notes with iCloud, if you go to iCloud.com/Notes using a computer browser, are the notes there? Have you signed into Settings/Your Name/iCloud using the same Apple ID and turned Notes syncing on? The sync is very, very slow.


If you weren't syncing with iCloud, do you have a backup you can restore from? Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a back and only restore certain files.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
