All notes disappeared after iOS 18.1 update

If you don't see your iCloud notes in the Notes app

Here’s how to check your iCloud sync settings, and restart if needed.

If your iCloud notes aren't appearing on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, follow these steps.

1. Open the Settings app and tap your name.
2. Tap iCloud, then tap Notes.
3. Make sure Sync this [device] is on, then check the Notes app.
4. If you still don't see your notes, restart your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro. After restarting, check your settings again.

After these steps, your iCloud notes should appear and start syncing again on devices signed in to the same Apple Account. When syncing completes, content previously synced to iCloud should appear.

Most of my notes in the Notes app on my iPad disappeared after updating to 18.1. I have tried the suggestions recommended and it didn’t work. I only have notes from 2018-2021.
