Where do my notes from my iPhone go?

My notes on my iPhone keep disappearing. A day after I write a note, they disappear. When I go to iCloud, they are not there. I can't find them on Outlook or Yahoo. Yahoo mail is my default account according to the notes setting on my iPhone. But I can't find them. Any idea where they are going to?

Go to your settings and see if your notes are synced with the cloud? They could be on another device and whoever has that device is deleting them. Any device that is set up with that account will have those notes on them and if they delete them then it will delete them on yours too.

  • Will an upgrade from iPhone 4s to iPhone 5 save my notes and data? I'm planning on upgrading my iPhone 4s to the iPhone 5 and did not know if the data on my old phone would transfer to my new one. For example I have many notes on my 4s that I would like to have imported onto the iPhone 5. When they transfer my phone contacts will it include other phone data such as notes?
  • Why does my iPhone notes app.delete some notes? Some have been there for over a year others just disappear after a few days. I have not (to my knowledge) done anything differently.
  • My iPhone says that my Notes is taking up 1.79 GB of storage. I only have 3 notes, and there isn't a lot of text in them. How do I fix this? Recently there were a lot of notes on my phone, but I deleted most of them until there were only three notes left. However, my phone still says my Notes takes up 1.79 GB. I tried writing a really lengthy note to see if the GB would go higher, but it didn't change. I don't want to delete my three remaining notes, which have very little text in them. I doubt that these notes are taking up 1.79 GB. What is the problem here, and how do I fix it?
