Hi,
My 'LOCKED' notes have disappeared from my iPad (7th Generation). It is vital that I retrieve them. I have manually searched and checked information on Apple support but I can't find them. I last looked at them previous to the last iOS update, 16.3.
Can anyone help please
Regards
iPad, iPadOS 16

Troubleshooting Disappeared Notes:
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.

Age plays no role in this :)
Check iCloud Directly:
See if they reside in iCloud. Go here: https://www.icloud.com/notes
JUSSSSST in case...did you happen to click the little arrow next to the Account name (in this pic, iCloud) under folders to see if it's just not "pulled down?"
The simple things are often easiest to miss!

Restore from a Backup:
Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup.
Hi, Thank you for your assistance.
I have followed the Apple Support link and completed the suggestions but nothing helped.
In settings I tapped the first icon in the left hand list, the one with my name in, I can't see 'Notes'. I then tapped
'iCloud', I still can't see Notes.
At 71 years old this isn't easy though I do have some experience.
Yes I backup automatically. I'm erasing my iPhone rather my iPad. After turning off 'Find My' I have a message on screen says, "Messages in iCloud not available as iCloud and iMessage accounts do not match. Messages in iCloud is not available as iCloud and iMessage accounts are different".
I don't understand what that means.
The iCloud dropdown list on my iPad is open, yes. Locked Notes are not available there.
I need those notes, so should I continue to restore the iPhone to attempt to retrieve them? I have messages on the iPad.
Getting those locked notes back is priority.
I do appreciate your patience.
Because the default iOS on my iPhone 6S is 15.x I can't backup from earlier dates. The only back up available is last evening. I turned auto backup off in November when we went away so as to save data and forgot to turn it back on till now. The iPad is the same. Restoring now and see where we are.
I found the article telling me the work round. I should have selected 'Don't Transfer Apps and Data' and follow the instructions from there. iPhone is now restored and when it cools down I will repeat the process and report back.
