Almost all my Notes in my Notes app randomly disappear and nowhere to be found. What do I do?

I went to check my notes this evening and they were all gone except 5. I probably had 50-75 notes and they are all gone


iPhone 12, iOS 16

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.



Please see the following pic which is self-explanatory



If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
