Notes missing after logging out of AppleID

Hello,

I logged out of my appleID and realised that after logging back in, all my notes went missing but after researching, I realised they were all synced in my icloud but i have no idea how to get them out from my icloud and back into my iphone’s notes app..


I tried going to my settings and turning on and off the “sync this iphone” button but my notes are still not showing up on my app. How do i get them all out of my icloud and back onto my actual notes app on my iphone? Because currently, my notes app is blank..

Hello doglovero, 


If we’re understanding correctly, the notes that are not appearing on your iPhone you are able to edit and view on the iCloud website. Based on the screenshot you sent us from your iPhone of the Notes app, it looks like the sync is attempting to happen but not completing, based on the gear icon showing. 


What happens if you create a new note? Does it then appear on the iCloud website? That’s going to show us whether data is syncing from your iPhone to iCloud. Create and format notes on iPhone


Create and format a new note
1. Tap the new note option, then enter your text.
The first line of the note becomes the note’s title.
2. To change the formatting, tap the ‘Aa’ button.
You can apply a heading style, bold or italic font, a bulleted or numbered list, and more.
3. To save the note, tap Done.

Tip: To choose a default style for the first line in all new notes, go to Settings > Notes > New Notes Start With.



Thanks.

Hello,


Firstly, thank you so much for replying!


Sadly, they were to no help and i even tried deleting my app twice but still to no avail. Below i have attached some photos of what my situation looks like for a clearer picture, my app is blank whereas the notes that are supposed to appear are stuck in my iCloud.


Are there perhaps any other solutions?


Thank you in advance
