Notes not appearing in the app

Hi everyone, my notes app isn’t showing notes saved on iCloud. That is, I can see notes saved by my gmail but none saved on iCloud. I can access them when using the iCloud website (they were not deleted) but i just don’t see them anywhere on the actual app. Is this just a glitch/bug? How should i go about this issue? I’d like to regain access to all my notes via the notes app. Thanks!

iPhone XS, iOS 16

It is a good sign that you can see your notes on the iCloud web page.


Try this. Check if Notes is enabled in iCloud on your device. Go to:

Settings -> Apple ID (Your name) -> iCloud.


Find Notes in the list, if it is not enabled, enable it.


If it is enabled, try disabling it, close all apps, turn your device off and on again, and finally go back and re-enable Notes. See if your Notes have been synced back to your device.
