Hello Bgood237819,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that the Voice Memo app and some notes are missing from your iPhone 6s. You've come to the right place for help.
With iOS 11, you can delete certain built-in apps from your iPhone. Learn more here:
Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 11 device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
Follow the steps in this section to try to restore the Voice Memo app:
If the App Store indicates that the Voice Memo is already installed, use Search on your iPhone to locate it: from your Home screen, swipe right until a screen appears with a Search bar at the top , then enter Voice Memos in the Search bar.
With the missing notes, are these missing from the Notes app or from the Voice Memo app?
Take care!
