If the notes were stored under iCloud, you can check the "Recently Deleted" folder in the Notes app. Here's how to check:

  1. Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
  2. In the Folders view, scroll down to find the Recently Deleted folder.
  3. Tap on Recently Deleted to see if any of your notes are there.
  4. If you find the missing notes, you can restore them by tapping Edit in the top-right corner, selecting the notes you want to recover, and then tapping Move to move them back to your regular folder.


The notes will be kept in Recently Deleted for 30 days before being permanently deleted. If it’s been longer than that, they may no longer be recoverable.
