PANICKED iPhone users have reported that everything in their Notes app has mysteriously disappeared after accepting new iCloud terms.
Apple recently put out new terms and conditions for using the service, which appears to have triggered a bug.

iPhone owners across social media have been worried that their precious notes have been deleted forever.
Fortunately this is not the case and there is a way to bring them back.
“I dont have any notes anymore,” one worried user wrote on X.
“please help my entire novel was on there.”
Another wrote: “Not me stressing at 6AM because I opened my notes app on my iPhone and everything (years of notes) had disappeared.
“Of course I came on Twitter & found out it’s because of some iCloud terms & conditions I had agreed to.”
A third added: “All of my notes on my iPhone have randomly disappeared. 10 years of music, poems, journal entries, information…GONE.”
It’s not clear how widespread the problem is.
But after agreeing to the new terms, affected users claim that there’s nothing but an empty “On My iPhone” folder.
Restarting the app doesn’t appear to fix it either.

iPhone tricks to try today
Here are some of the best...
Typing cursor – When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad, letting you move around words and sentences more easily
Close all Safari tabs – To do this in one go, simply hold the overlapped squares in the bottom right-hand corner, and press close all tabs
Delete lots of photos quickly – Hold down on a photo and then drag your finger diagonally in Photos to select lots of images at once, then hit delete
Convert currency quickly – Swipe down from the top of your Home screen (or swipe left to right on an iPhone X or later model), then tap in the bar and type a currency (like $200) and it will automatically covert to your local currency
Check if you’re due a battery upgrade – Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check out the Maximum Capacity reading. Generally a battery is considered worn when you’re down to 80% capacity. If you’re below, you can buy a battery swap from Apple
Move apps around faster – Hold an app until it starts wiggling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack so you can move them around easier
