Notes not syncing on iPhone/mac

So yesterday, the 'Notes' on my iphone were not updating.

I tried to fix the issue by:


  1. Going to settings > Apple id > icloud >then toogled the green button off for notes
    • I Was prompted with a warning message, "Are you sure you want to turn off notes? If you turn off notes, these changes will be lost."
      • I clicked 'Delete from iPhone'


  • Since then, ALL notes are gone from my iPhone and I cannot seem to get them back.
  • However, I was able to still access notes on my mac and iPad AND when signing in on the web.
    • I tried playing around with some settings on the mac, now I can't get any of my Notes my Mac!
    • HOWEVER I can still get the full catalog of notes on my iPad AND on my iCloud web account.


WTF happened and how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities throgs,


We understand content from Notes was unintentionally deleted while trying to resolve a syncing issue.


The following page offers steps to recover deleted notes, that may be helpful: Delete and recover notes on iCloud.com


To ensure Notes is syncing as expected, and the same notes are available on all your devices, use the steps on the following page to double-check the same Apple ID is being used, and the feature is enabled for each device: Set up iCloud for Notes on all your devices


Cheers!
