Not getting recent and some older notes on IPhone 8+

Hi, I am having a problem retrieving notes on my IPhone 8+. They appear on my iPad Pro gen 4 and also on the icloud site, so I know they haven’t been deleted. My question is: Do i need to upgrade to a newer IPhone running the same OS(8+can only run 16.7) to correct the issue, or is there another way to solve this problem?

Thanks, JC

Notes disappeared on my ipad I have notes on all my devices but just now the notes disappeared from my ipad. It’s the notepad app. Thankfully theyre still on my mac and iphone. I googled it and even asked my sister. this was basically the answer i got. I updated my iphone to 18.1 when i5 prompted me. so did my mac. But my ipad is stuck on 16.7.10 it never got a prompt. (I assume my Mac is 18.1 not too sure.) the thing is my ipad i got September 2019. I guess it’s too old or outdated? Also my notes are in my Icloud too.

Notes don’t work I can't see iPhone notes anymore, only those saved in iCloud. I tried to update the iOS but nothing changed. How can I do?

Notes disappeared from iPhone My Notes have disappeared from my iPhone. I’ve gone through the series of checks and backups to no avail. The Notes are on iCloud but I can’t get them back to my phone. Any suggestions on how to resolve this gratefully received.
