Where did my sticky notes go?

[AC Question]

I updated my Samsung S6 this morning. After the update, my phone's home screen was reset. I have lost all of my sticky notes with info on them. Any chance I can recover them? Help!

Welcome to Android Central! Does the phone still have the Sticky Notes app/feature, or was it removed with the update? In general, I avoid these kinds of preinstalled note-taking apps, since they often don't backup or sync anywhere, so that if something like this happens, all of your information is lost.

All of my apps, including Sticky Notes, were still downloaded appropriately. The only difference after the update (that I noticed) was my home screens and therefore lack of any setup I did after I first got my phone 6 months ago.

I'm not too familiar with Sticky Notes--can you open that app and find all of your notes there, even if they're not stuck to a homescreen?
