When you open your Notes app and navigate to your folders view, you’ll see the folder labeled On My iPhone. Notes in that folder will be stored locally on your iPhone only, which means they’re more at risk of being lost if something happens to your iPhone, but they’re also more private since they’re only on your iPhone and appear nowhere in the cloud.
