Notes not syncing with icloud

My Notes on my iPhone recently stopped syncing with iCloud. I'm not seeing changes showing up on my Mac or on iCloud.com. I recently updated the Mac to Ventura, but the Notes app on my Mac is syncing with iCloud.com. It appears that it's the iPhone that is having issues. On my iPhone, when I look in the Settings at iCloud it shows Notes "On". I've restarted my iPhone. If I try to turn that off and then back on again it says that I will lose any changes, so I haven't done that. The iPhone is running 16.5.1 (c). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello fishysammay,

In the Notes app on your iPhone be sure to try swiping to the right from the list of the notes to reveal the folders/locations. Then, check and see if the notes being created are in one of the folders under the iCloud header here, or if they're listed under 'On My iPhone' or another account.

In Settings > Notes you may also check for what it lists as the "Default Account". Setting this to iCloud, if it isn't already, can help ensure new notes sync with iCloud as expected.

In Settings > Notes > Accounts, this can also help to see if any other accounts added to the device have the 'Notes' option enabled for them.

Cheers.
