All the notes on my iPhone disappeared

So I had this issue and I don’t know if it will help you, but mine had disappeared after I had deleted an unused email off my phone, turns out that is where all my notes were stored. So maybe checking that all your email addresses are linked properly and have the notes option turned on in the settings.

I agree, I actually support Apple, but on April 1st all notes on my iPhone got “deleted” after I wanted to sync them with my other devices (Mac, iPad).

My iPad & Mac are already synced but I never use them for Notes so the only notes I have are from 2021/2022 etc.

I've tried turning iCloud Synchronisation back off/on and also checked if I had any Backup for my phone on the Mac, but unfortunately not for the Notes I lost.

I spent way too much time on some and had some important information stored on it too. I’m very disappointed.

So basically, I synced all 3 devices believing my Notes would merge together, got no warning whatsoever before ALL Notes from my iPhone were deleted and now all I have are irrelevant notes I created years ago.

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.
