Missing some Notes on iPhone 13

Ever since the most recent update I am missing some of my notes and today my most important note is missing. I searched online and most of them referred to a "Deleted Notes" folder. I do not have that on my phone. Help!!!!

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Yes! All my Notes disappeared from On My iPhone. I have my email notes & iCloud, but most of my notes were in my iPhone folder. I’ve tried all the suggested fixes and nothing. If I search for missing Note by name, it shows up, but when I select it and Notes app opens it is not there so there is no way to view it.

If there is no Recently Deleted folder created in the Notes app automatically, then there are no deleted Notes available to retrieve.


Do you know where those deleted Notes were being linked to? Were they associated with an email address or were they all associated to your iCloud email address? If those Notes were associated with an email address other than the iCloud email address, then you can log in that email’s website address and check for the Notes there.

Did you recently delete / remove an email address from the mail app? If YES, then check to see whether you can add it back again and the status of those Notes.


Lastly, do you use iCloud for Notes? If YES, then go to 👉 www.icloud.com on a computer to recover recently deleted files or restore an earlier version of information that was automatically archived in iCloud.

Review the following:
