All of my files, became unreadable. They all look like the text below?

Looks like the file might have been corrupted. Do you have a backup by any chance?

It appears that older Notes in Samsung Notes were of a different format. You can still read them, I believe, by opening Notes, then tapping the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines), then tap 'Old format notes'.1754696187853.jpg1754696187865.jpg

No. I selected the option, but the files look the same - unreadable.
Thank you for the suggestion.
