All the notes disappeared from Notes app on my iPhone and iPad

All the notes disappeared from both my phone and IPad. I didn’t delete them. What happened and how do I get them back?

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.



Please see the following pic which is self-explanatory
