Notes from “On My iPhone” suddenly disappeared. I was scanning documents to my notes this morning when it suddenly shut off unexpectedly. When I went to go back to it, I discovered that all of my notes in the “On My IPhone” section had completely disappeared. How do I retrieve them? They were not backed on iCloud, but the phone. I have an iPhone X that doesn’t update past iOS 16.7.10.

Has anyone else notes suddenly disappeared from their iPhone? I used my notes on the Sunday and when I checked on the Monday every note had disappeared. They weren't in my recently deleted folder either. Apple support says there is no data to recover. Unfortunately I hadn't backed my phone up to iCloud or otherwise. I have really sentimental and important information on my notes (like my kids first words etc) so Im doing everything I can to get them back. Any ideas?
