I lost all my notes, although they were backed up to my iCloud account, I still cannot find them there... any idea how to recover them?? No notes were found in my recently deleted either...

I had important notes related to my university and my career... I'm so confused what should I do?

This also happened to me today. I realized some of my notes were missing, so I checked my iCloud and found the missing notes in the Recently Deleted folder even though I did not delete them. But when I started recovering the notes, they suddenly disappeared. Now the missing notes from my iPhone that I found on my iCloud are also missing from my iCloud. I'm so confused. I also just realized now that the missing notes are the ones that are locked. Can somebody help? Thanks!

Same, devrafx! I have no idea where all of my notes went. I'm pretty sure all of them were still in my Notes app a day ago, but now they are like completely wiped out. Disappeared into thin air. My iOS is up to date as well, 15.5. I've tried restarting my phone twice and still, there's nothing.


I hope this is a bug that can soon be fixed. I'm certain I didn't touch any delete button on any of my notes.

Hopefully an expert reaches out regarding this matter as soon as possible. Thanks

I had the same issue. Only one of my many Notes disappeared. I did not delete it. If I had deleted it mistakenly, it would have gone into the Recently Deleted folder, but there was nothing there. I looked on my ipad that was not connected to a network and could still see the Note that was lost, but as soon as my ipad automatically connected to a network, the Note disappeared. It may be worth pointing out it was my largest note - could size have been an issue?
