Notes disappeared after updating to iOS 18.1.1 many (not all) of my current notes have disappeared from my gmail notes account after this update was installed. I can only see old notes pre 2021. I have tried re-logging in using my iCloud email address with no success. How can I access mt notes from 2024?

how to stop iphone notes getting sent to gmail WITHOUT deleting them from phone One day noticed there were MILLIONS of copies of notes made on my iPhone (sometimes many copies of one note, what joy) filling up my various gmails. Found out here (thank you apple support community) that if i go into settings>mail>accounts on my iphone and toggle the 'notes' button to 'off' in each of those accounts, it will stop sending copies to my gmail, huzzah! Also that terrifying warning comes up saying all those notes will be deleted from my phone. Gack. If i Do toggle the 'notes' switch in mail accounts to 'off', will all those gmail notes disappear from my phone? If so, wtf?! Apple can you please change this?! it is a truly horrible feature.

Gmail Notes disappeared It seems others have asked this question before, but I haven't discovered a solution... My phone kept popping up with a message stating that I needed to sign into my google account in the settings app. I clicked on it and signed in. The next time I checked my notes app, all my notes stored in the Gmail folder were gone... All of them. Since the notes app syncs with Gmail, I went to Gmail and checked the notes category. Some of my notes were there. However, every note I wrote down (I write in there a lot) since 2018 is gone... Not in Gmail, not in the notes app. Where can I go to recover these notes? PS - Also, apparently It's not a Google problem as "Gmail simply syncs the data from the Notes app (if Notes says delete everything, Gmail does as instructed). Google is just a “container” the notes app uses to save stuff in."
