How can I recover disappeared Notes on iPhone?

I literally just opened my phone today, and all my notes have disappeared. When I tried to create a new note, I could write something, and when I hit done it wouldn’t appear on the main screen. The only thing that is visible on the main screen is a “Folder” title, and the search bar (which doesn’t show any results when I search something)


my storage, both iCloud and iphone, aren’t completely full. And the notes ARE visible on my iPad, just not my phone. I already tried powering it off and on

Simple Fix:


Open Settings App

Tap your name at the top

Tap iCloud

Find Notes and turn the switch on, but if on, turn it off, then on again


Your notes will be restored to your phone.
