Hi xen118,


If you created a backup of your iPhone when the notes in the Notes app were present on the device, you can restore that backup to your iPhone. Here’s the article that shows you how: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


We want you to be aware that any new information you’ve added to your device since the date of the backup you use will be replaced by the contents included in the backup.

All the best.
