Problem with Notes app
There have been reports of problems in the Notes app for the last few weeks.

If it doesn’t, you should turn it on – the menu item apparently stops suddenly. If this step is not enough, you should restart your iPhone, iPad or Vision Pro and check the settings again. “After these steps, your iCloud Notes should appear and sync will resume on the device signed in to the same Apple account.
