Lost all my notes

I had a bunch of things saved to my notes. Book ideas, numbers of people I needed to call, messages I had planned to send, etc. I’ve done the usual going into notes and checking the “On my IPhone” account slider, and there is nothing in the recently deleted folder. Noting on my iCloud account. I NEED theses notes! How can I fix it?!

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Can you view them on the iCloud website?

View notes and locked notes on iCloud.com - Apple Support


If so, go to Settings > [name on top] > iCloud > Notes, and if the switch in on, then turn it off. You will get a message asking if you want to remove them from your device which you can agree to, because currently to do not have any on your device. Restart the phone, then go to the same setting and turn Notes back on. Wait for them to download in the Notes app.
