notes are gone after accepting new icloud terms and conditions

I HAVE AN IPHONE 13 PRO MAX AND I DONT HAVE AN 'APPS USING ICLOUD' OPTION. THE TSYNC IS ON ALREADY BUT ALL MY INFORMATION IS GONE STILL. I LOGGED INTO THE ICLOUD AND MY NOTES ARE THERE BUT NOTE DO NOT APPEAR ON MY IPHONE,

I hit cancel aswell. Tried other things and two of my notes are still affected i.e. partially vanished. So by reading this, I am guessing the updated version of these two notes were stored locally. I don’t know why. After hitting the stupid new T&C’s everything vanished twice, the third time it pulled all my notes even from previous devices and notes that were recently created even after the two that were impacted. Just before I pressed that, I edited those two notes. My mobile was running low on storage at the time that it undone the changes I made. But still bizzare how everything else pulled up and no later version of my two notes came. They better fix this! Please keep me posted. I hope you get yours back too… I understand your frustration. It was a nightmare!

After the updated most of my notes are gone. What's left are only some parts of notes, and now they are divided by year. I had some notes that i have added to for over 5 years and now some parts are missing and the remainder are divide into separate notes by year.

I tried going to notes on icloud and turning off then back on the sync notes with this device, then waited...nothing. I turned the device off then back on, but that didn't work. If anyone has. solution for how to I may recover my notes I would be "eternally" grateful.

Mine are gone. I’ve tried the tips here and still gone. I had left a marriage where I was gaslit and would keep journals of different happenings soon after the events so I could go back and see I’m not crazy. I’d write or take photos and store them in my notes. All of it gone. Some cute sayings my kids would say, or poems I’d write and share with no one. It was basically my journal and loved being able to go back and see how far we’ve come… all of it gone. 😭

Update! I worked on this last night and it didn’t work. Mentally prepared myself they would never come back… checked this morning and they’re all back! Give “if I’m not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer.” Vibes. 😂

Hello, i also have the same issue. My payment for icloud backup was late and i didn’t realized it so i took notes as usual. After i had paid my icloud backup and followed all the helpful suggestions here, my “icloud backup notes” can be restored. But the notes that I had been taken before I paid the icloud couldn’t be found anywhere 😭. Does anybody know how to restore this kind of notes? Thank you

Same here, I've posted on another thread. I've tried everything ( I believe ). I believe my notes' were linked to one of like my 6 email address's, but, the notes are all turned on' for these...Had really important notes I relied on. Anyone have luck besides what Apple's advice was to do, which didn't work for me. ? Thx.

I had lost all mine and spent 2 days trying to fix it. In the end I had to go into iCloud and request my data to be transferred. I’ll try and post the details I got to follow. All back now !!

Very helpful. Whew! My notes are back

Same here! They do appear in my macbook so at least I know they are not gone forever, but I got scared at first because they don’t appear in my iphone (se 2020, iOS 16.smth). Hope they fix it soon.

This worked for me. It restored Notes back. Thanks for sharing!

No. Just go back to notes and they should be back.

thanks very much, it fixed it

That worked! Bless you.

I restarted my phone after accepting the new T&C and my notes came back.
