  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: See All >
  5. Tap: Notes
  6. Toggle On: Sync this iPhone. If already toggled on, then toggle it off, and then toggle it back on.


B. Go Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


C. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup. Note that the iOS backup version typically needs be of the same version as what is installed.
