All the notes on my iPhone disappeared

The only way I have found to access where all your notes are (the local note folder) is to ask Siri to take a note you can put anything in there. Then when the note is complete and on the screen press it. After press back and you will be in the local note file and be able to access the notes. One of the many reasons my next phone will not be an iPhone.

I had notes in the on my iPad section and was on it editing them. I go off the app for less than 30 seconds and when I came back they were all gone, as well as my quick notes. All that I have is 1 from the gmail section. I don’t have any recently deleted section and I tried what this says but it didn’t help. I still don’t have them. I really need my notes back.

I had lost all my notes that I had on my iPhone contacts. Did not have an issue with the NOTES app. Found the Settings/Notes/Settings “On My iPhone” Account on my iPhone and iPad was turned off…switched it on, but did not bring back my notes. Signed in on iCloud.com, went to Restore Data for contacts, restored to an earlier date with no change. Went to Contacts in iCloud.com and found all the missing notes. Copied and pasted them to my contact notes along with the NOTES app that I locked. Have confirmed my notes are back where they belong on both devices and able to edit them.

I created a folder to separate a couple of my notes. 2 Days passed by and the folder is nowhere to be seen. I checked iCloud as well as the Recently Deleted pages. I know I wasn't the one to delete the folder and nobody has access to my Apple ID as far as I am aware. I had very important information written, and want Apple to know I am greatly disappointed about this error.

I tried 2 things. I changed my Settings for Notes to Save to iPhone. That did nothing that I could see. But the last big thing I had done on my phone was delete tons of Gmail cuz I don’t use that account. So I went to Gmail and searched for one of the titles that had been on notes and it was buried in Gmail! Have no idea how that happened but was happy to find some of my Notes. Now I can’t make fun of my pen&paper friends anymore.

I see that your message is from November 2023. The latest IOS on my devices, I’ve lost my journal that I put on the note app every night I’ve lost 30 out of 31 days in May, did you or anyone reading this message ever get your notes back.

Cpaglia101 this just happened to me, I checked my MacBook and it’s gone there too. Were you able to find a solution for this?

I Accidentally deleted some text in a note a little bit ago how do I get them back

I tried this and unfortunately didn’t work for me, my notes didn’t come back. I updated my software and turn on that setting and nothing.

Deleted gmail account. Now all of the information in Notes app is gone.
