This comment is of absolutely no value to me. I despise that you’ve linked me the same garbage unhelpful article that permeates every single other thread like this.

I found the solution on my own. Open notes, click ‘Back’ at the top left. This is your ‘Folders’ screen. You should see ‘iCloud’ and beneath it ‘On My iPhone’. On the right of iCloud it should say ‘Upgrade’, tap and hold it and it will upgrade your notes. If you’re like me and you never upgraded your notes that’s the solution.
