Help! I accidentally cut my work on notes!

Hello, I’m an 15 year old who works on music. I was writing lyrics down on notes and had it all finished. After this I wanted to send it to my friend Cora. I highlighted everything to copy and paste the song. I accidentally clicked cut. All my work was gone. I checked recently deleted and my iCloud but it was no help. Please help me!

iPhone SE, iOS 16

NOTABILITY NOTES DISAPPEARED Can someone help me… I purchased the premium app for notability and I was having a hard time importing my files to notability and I read somewhere to clear my iCloud. My iCloud has been full for a while now and I never bought more storage. After clearing iCloud all my notes disappeared from the first 3 weeks of my nursing school…. All my hard work gone to waste. This is so disappointing! I paid for the premium but no mention about it being connected to iCloud…. Will I be able to recover my notes? In desperate need of help please and thank you.

All Notes DISAPPEARED from my iPhone :: SOLUTION So, not sure if anyone already posted a solution to this issue, but I just went to access my Notes app and it was empty— no notes, no folders, EVERYTHING of every level of importance from the last few years completely gone. Obviously panic set in, BUT I did find a solution in my case:: I read in this prev forum that an update could have been the cause and turned off the “On My iPhone” option, which essentially deleted every note off my phone. I tried what some of the posts mentioned, like turning the “On My iPhone” button off (agreeing to delete any notes off my phone) and then back on but nothing reappeared. Settings>Notes>”On My iPhone” Account So THE SOLUTION I found was logging into iCloud on my pc. When I signed in, words can’t describe the relief I felt seeing my notes were still registering in the app (just not on my phone apparently). Basically you should be able to sync your iCloud notes back to your iPhone (no pc needed, I just used mine to check if my notes were still existing):: Settings >> Your Name >> iCloud >> [Apps Using iCloud] Show All >> Notes >> Sync this iPhone (should be turned on, and if it is, turn off then back on again) There was such a glorious moment as all my notes started to trickle in (personally got close to 1000) Not sure if this is a solid fix for everyone who has suddenly / randomly lost their notes, but it worked for mine and I had to share (never rly post about things but when it comes to losing memories that’s a line I’m willing to step over lol) Best of luck!
