All notes disappeared after iOS 18.1 update

I tried the option where you go into your settings and turn on notes in the icloud settings but to my surprise it was already on so i had remembered I read someone say on here that their "Recently Deleted" was also gone , I went to check if mine was but fortunately it wasn't, so it made me think that maybe icloud wasn't loading them or "syncing" And to my surprise I was correct, If you go to your Photos app , in the right corner you will see your first letter of your name, There should be a blinking yellow light on it , click it, It's going to say "Syncing with Icloud Paused" Click on it "Sync Now" and click on "resume Syncing" maybe wait a couple mins and then go back and check your notes, if that doesn't work then restart your phone and check again but it should work the first time, sometimes this happens because you dont have enough storage or your phone was on low power mode, so it automatically stopped, Hope this works for you guys like how it worked with me because I read all of these replies and no Hope LOL
