My notes were overwritten

Hello,

I’ve got my iphone x restored from itunes backup but somehow I never backed up my notes to icloud and so when I logged on iCloud in overwritten the notes and removed my 10 years notes from the app. I’ve checked my Emails account and never found any other copy. Is it possible to get my notes back ?! They are not in itunes because my backup was corrupted and I fixed it and never got the notes from there. I could get the notes Ttachments though which are not of significant value for me. Please help !

iPhone X, iOS 16

Hi muslem274,

For help with missing notes, test the steps below found in the article here: If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Be sure to also check third-party accounts for any data synced.

"First, update all of your devices to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS to make sure that the issue isn't related to previous software.

Then try the following steps.

To make sure your Notes work is associated with an email account, find the email settings screen located at Settings > Mail > Accounts.

Check your account settings

If you store your notes with a third-party account or email service, like Gmail or Yahoo, check your settings:

In the Settings app, tap Mail.
Tap Accounts, then tap the email account that you want to check.
Make sure that Notes is on.

If you use Notes with more than one email account, just repeat the steps for each account. If your account is missing, learn how to add an email account to your device."

As you mentioned the notes weren't previously synced with iCloud, you can test restoring from a different backup, if saved. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

Cheers.
