I lost all of my notes!

I recently made a new apple ID for my self because there was too many devices on the apple ID I was previously on. After making a new apple ID and using it on my iPhone and iPad I noticed that my notes app had no notes. Before switching I had many notes and I was wondering if there was anyway I could retrieve them?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

I an afraid not. Most things are tied to the Apple ID they were created with and cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. Sorry. For more info, see:

Manage and use your Apple ID - Apple Support


PS. - Why do you think you had too many devices on the apple ID?

That's really wired because I turned off iCloud and thought that the notes were saved on to my iPhone directly.

If you were storing your notes entirely on your device, you can try restoring from a backup -- Restore or set up your device from an iCloud backup - Apple Support.
