Troubleshooting Lost Notes:

A. Where to Go:

• Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
• iCloud in Settings: Look in iCloud settings in each device, and make sure that Notes is clicked. If it is, then unclick it, and then click it again.

B. Restore from a Backup:

Have any backups of your iPhone that contains these notes? If so, restore your iPhone from a backup, and you could recover them.

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.

I am also having the same problem. I finished writing a note a few hours ago, then clicked on the back arrow to go to my list of notes. I then clicked on “folders.” The screen froze for a second, then it refreshed and it only showed an Outlook folder with no notes. No “local folder”, no “on my iPhone” folder with my 10 notes. Just the outlook folder with zero notes. I made sure the notes settings were all set right, turned my phone off and on, and no change. I then updated to 15.5, hoping to fix it, but to no avail. I am using an iPhone 12 Mini.
