Apple in September updated its iCloud terms and conditions with some minor changes, and this week it has been notifying iPhone users that they must accept the revised terms in order to continue using iCloud. Unfortunately, after accepting the new terms, some iPhone users have seen all of their notes disappear in the Notes app.
While some users have turned to social media to panic about all of their notes being gone, thankfully the issue can be fixed by following the steps below.
Open the Settings app.
Tap on your name at the top (aka your Apple Account settings).
Tap on iCloud.
Tap on Notes.
Turn on “Sync this iPhone” (green = on). If it is already on, turn it off and on again.
In the Notes app, wait several minutes for your notes to be restored from iCloud.
We began monitoring this issue earlier this week, but it is unclear what the underlying cause is. Apple did not respond to our request for comment.Related Roundups: iOS 18, iPadOS 18Tag: iCloudRelated Forums: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+
