How to Find Recently Deleted Notes on iPhone
If you’ve ever accidentally deleted a note on your iPhone and can’t seem to find it, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Losing important information can be frustrating, but there are ways to retrieve recently deleted notes. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to find recently deleted notes on your iPhone.
1. Check the Recently Deleted Folder
The first place you should look for recently deleted notes is the “Recently Deleted” folder. This folder is a safety net that stores deleted notes for a limited amount of time before they are permanently deleted. Here’s how to access it:
1. Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the “Notes” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap “Recently Deleted.”
4. You’ll see a list of all the notes you’ve deleted in the past 30 days.
If you find your deleted note here, simply tap the “Info” button next to it, then tap “Move Note” and choose a folder to restore it to.
2. Use the “Undo” Feature
If you deleted a note recently and haven’t closed the Notes app, you may be able to undo the deletion. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the Notes app and navigate to the note you want to recover.
2. Tap the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Look for the deleted note and tap the “Undo” button (a clock icon) in the lower-left corner of the screen.
4. If the “Undo” button is grayed out, it means you can’t undo the deletion.
3. Restore from an iCloud Backup
If you have enabled iCloud Backup and have a recent backup, you can restore your deleted notes from there. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.
3. Select “iCloud.”
4. Tap “iCloud Backup.”
5. Tap “Back Up Now” to ensure you have the latest backup.
6. Tap “Restore from Backup” and choose the most recent backup that contains your deleted notes.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your iPhone from the backup.
4. Use a Third-Party App
If the above methods don’t work, you can try using a third-party app to recover your deleted notes. There are several apps available on the App Store that can help you recover deleted data from your iPhone. Some popular options include iMyFone D-Back, Dr. Fone, and Tenorshare iPhone Data Recovery.
To use a third-party app, follow these steps:
1. Download and install a third-party data recovery app on your computer.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable.
3. Open the app and select “Recover from iOS Device.”
4. Follow the app’s instructions to scan your iPhone for deleted notes.
5. Once the scan is complete, select the deleted notes you want to recover and click “Recover.”
Remember to act quickly when trying to recover deleted notes, as the data may be overwritten by new data on your iPhone. By following these steps, you should be able to find and recover recently deleted notes on your iPhone.
