Notes deleted from Notes app on syncing iPhone to iCloud

After I had synced my notes to iCloud so I could have a shared note with my friend ALL of my notes I had on my phone before syncing were gone. I was utterly devastated as I had some important stuff I needed to remember, as well as other things that I made with friend that weren’t a shared note. All that’s left is what I had on my iPad which I haven’t used since 2021. There was a previous post about this but not a single reply was useful. Please help I really needed that stuff.

Troubleshooting Lost Notes:

So, what’s those post you speak of? No one wants to recommend what you’ve already tried.

Recovering Lost Notes:

If you have lost the notes, then here is what to try...

A. Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

B. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup. Note that the backup must be of the same iOS version as what is currently installed.

C. iCloud in Settings: Look in iCloud settings in each device, and make sure that Notes is clicked. If it is, then unclick it, and then click it again.
