Locked Notes Disappeared

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.

"Locked Notes Disappeared: 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."

Age plays no role in this :)


Check iCloud Directly:

See if they reside in iCloud. Go here: https://www.icloud.com/notes

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.”
