Try this.

Here's a step-by-step guide to un-sync and re-sync your Notes on your iPhone:

  1. Close the Notes App:
  2. Close the Notes app on your iPhone to ensure it's not running in the background.
  3. Open Settings:
  4. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
  5. Navigate to iCloud Settings:
  6. Scroll down and tap on your name or picture at the top of the Settings screen to access your Apple ID settings.
  7. Access iCloud Settings:
  8. In the Apple ID settings, tap on "iCloud."
  9. Show All:
  10. Within the iCloud settings, tap on "Show All" to display all available iCloud options.
  11. Select Notes:
  12. Find and tap on "Notes" in the list of iCloud settings.
  13. Turn Off Notes Sync:
  14. To remove all iCloud notes from your iPhone, turn off the "Sync this iPhone" toggle for Notes. This will temporarily disable syncing.
  15. Turn On Notes Sync Again:
  16. After turning off the sync, toggle "Sync this iPhone" for Notes back on. This will initiate the re-syncing process.
  17. Open Notes App:
  18. Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
  19. Wait for Sync:
  20. Allow some time for your iPhone to sync with iCloud and retrieve your notes. Depending on the number of notes and your internet connection, this process may take a few moments.
  21. Verify Sync:
  22. Confirm that all your notes are now back on your iPhone. You should see them in the Notes app.

By following these steps, you have essentially disabled and re-enabled the iCloud sync for Notes on your iPhone. This process can help resolve issues related to syncing or corruption.
