After my update to iOS 18.3.1, all of my notes COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED!! I can’t even find them on the cloud-I don’t have access to a pc to log in to so I am just using my phone- help!
I had some really important (who doesn’t) and sentimental things saved and I’m freaking out. How can I get my files back?!?

I freaked out because I had the same problem this week and even called Apple Support yesterday because the missing notes were so important. Spoke with really nice guy but he didn't solve my problem. Just tried some other person's past suggestion to reset in iCloud and that didn't work. Just now I went through the 27 folders that appear now post-update. Previously my notes were not organized in folders and appeared chronologically. In one of the 27 folders that now appear I found about 100 of my most important notes bundled up into it-- no correlation to the folder name created by the update. I AM SO RELIEVED!!! Hope you have the same experience. Now I just have to figure out how to uncouple them from that new update-created folder and maybe even organize them in my own way.
I had a similar problem. Half of my notes just vanished after the update. After using some other applications which didnt retrieve the old data i stumbled upon a post that recommended contacting apple support which i did. It took them less than 30 min to fix it. Hope it helps, good luck.
How to recover missing notes after iOS 18.3.1 update?
