You’re asking about lost notes, and not a lost (deleted) Notes app as this thread was discussing.


Lost notes (your case) are an entirely different situation from a deleted app (this thread).


Please start your own thread in this topic.

The same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. I've searched all over to either find the missing Notes or find advice that worked. So far, no luck. My Notes are not in Recently Deleted or apparently anywhere else including iCloud. com, Gmail, my Google account, other iOS devices, and so forth. The one place I've not yet looked is on my MacBook where I'm hopeful my Notes can be restored from Time Machine back ups. Interestingly, there are four notes remaining on my iPad and in iCloud storage, but I had a couple of hundred Notes now gone.


I would accept the idea that I clumsily deleted them myself but how I could have been so thorough by accident escapes me.


Anybody know what's going on here?
