  1. Open the Settings app and tap the part that says your name

  2. Tap iCloud

  3. Tap Notes

  4. Toggle "Sync this device" on if it isn't turned on

  5. Check Notes

This step-by-step guide should restore your notes. Apple also listed a contingency in case it doesn't: Restart your device and try again. Eagle-eyed readers may notice that this is almost exactly the same as the unofficial fix that circulated online last week.

The good news is that, no matter what, your notes should be stored in the cloud, so you didn't actually lose them. Just keep trying, and eventually, they should come back. If not, contact Apple support.
