notes are gone after accepting new icloud terms and conditions

I had to do a complete erase of phone and restore from backup to get mine back. Extremely frustrating!!!! Notes are my bible to everything.

Unfortunately, to me, this step only showed the "On my iPhone" section with nothing in there!

That worked - thank you!

That’s all great, but my iCloud was full, so my notes won’t be there anyway. They were only on my phone. Now they’re gone. I’m so ******!

Hi,

The menu should look like the snapshot below…

That’s the button I toggled on and off to get iCloud to start up and sync notes again. If you’re in the Manage Storage menu, you’ll see that it will delete the notes from iCloud entirely as that is referring to your iCloud storage as opposed to device syncing so stay away from

that menu!

Hope you get it sorted 😊

So what happens to those notes not backed up on iCloud? I had things saved in there that I needed. This is insane.

Thank you AdamsiThings!!!

This fixed my issue today! Greatly appreciated. 💖

Literally same, just got off the phone with them and I’m unimpressed. Literally not my fault that the agreement must deleted half my notes??? I’m confused and highly irritated…

The same thing happened to me but I literally just turned my phone off and when I turned it back on and re-opened notes app, all my notes started syncing and all were restored, hope this helps!

You are a hero THANK YOU!

Best method! This worked for me. A little bit of a delay but they’re all re-appearing now. iPhone = my life!!!

This solution worked for me: open Settings > Icloud > ICloud Drive > turn off and turn on the Sync this iPhone option. My missing notes loaded immediately after.

I have lost all my notes on the iPhone 😓😓

have so many important and sentimental notes 😢😢

is anyone else had same issue after accepting new iCloud terms ?

Agreed, it instead pulled up notes from 2020-2023 which I didn’t have anymore. Which is so weird, I deleted them anyway. But I want my old notes back. Apple needs to do something about this.

update - powered off and on after the two suggested steps. got my notes back on iPh!

tried this fix also, and still no go.
