Accidentally deleted app

I accidentally deleted notes app on my iPhone XS. I was able to add the notes app back on, and retrieved the notes on iCloud, but unable to retrieve notes stored on iPhone. Is there a way to retrieve them or are they lost forever?

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.




If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
