S21 Ultra was acting buggy, so I decided to do a factory reset to try to fix it. (It didn't)

I backed up everything on my google drive and on my Samsung account.

Long story short, it's a PITA to restore a factory-reset phone compared to a new device. I wish I would've just upgraded to the S24 Ultra and never attempted the cloud backup / restore on the old device.

Anyway, I lost my notes (the app on Samsungs) in the restore process. I cannot find anything on google drive, and the Samsung account restore did not bring them back, either. Since the reset didn't help my phone issues, I bought a new S24 Ultra but am unsure of the best way to set it up; I'd like to try to locate and restore my notes, first.

Do google drive backups save the "Notes" app data? The backup I selected said it did backup app data.

Why didn't my Samsung account backup/restore save the Notes? Is there a way to verify they exist somewhere in the cloud, or try to specifically restore them now?
