There are several reasons why this could happen. Here are some of the things you could try:


Check the "Recently Deleted" Folder. Open the Notes app and tap the back icon until you see your Folders list.

Tap Recently Deleted and search for your note. If you find them here, you can easily recover them (tap Edit >

select the note > tap Move)


Check email syncing. If your notes are synced with an email account (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo), ensure that Notes syncing is enabled. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts. Select the email account you use for Notes. Ensure that Notes is toggled on.


If this doesn't help but your notes were backed up to iCloud, you can restore them.


Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud. Ensure that Notes is toggled on.


    • If you have an iCloud backup that includes your notes, you can restore your iPhone to that backup.
    • Note: Restoring a backup will replace current data with the data from the backup.
