iPhone recent notes disappeared

All my notes for this year have disappeared from my iPhone SE, although previous notes are still there. There is no recently deleted folder in the app. When I sign into iCloud.com and check the recently deleted folder, it is empty. They’ve all just vanished!

my iCloud storage was full, so I deleted all my photos to free up some space…….but still my recent notes are missing, what else can I do?

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Open the Settings app.

Tap on your name at the top (aka your Apple Account settings).

Tap on iCloud.

Tap on Notes.

Turn on "Sync this iPhone" (green = on). If it is already on, turn it off and on again.

In the Notes app, wait several minutes for your notes to be restored from iCloud.
