Your notes on your iPhone may be lost, or you’ve accidentally deleted a note
from the Notes folder, or even remove it from the Recently Deleted folder.
Today’s video is here to help you recover recently deleted notes from iPhone,
and recover permanently deleted notes with or without iPhone backup in iCloud or computer.
The very first thing you can do once you realize your notes are disappeared is to
check the Recently Deleted folder within the Notes app, from which you can find and recover
accidentally deleted iPhone notes within up to 40 days. This requires no computer.
To perform the note recovery on your iPhone, open Notes app, tap the “back arrow” at the
top-left corner to return to Folder list. Tap Recently Deleted folder here, select Edit in
the upper right corner and you’ll see dots appear next to all items in Recently Deleted.
Tap the dot one by one for the note you want to recover, then tap Move in the bottom left of the
screen, and then choose a note folder to keep the deleted notes you selected after the recovery.
If you’ve set up Notes with iCloud, you can restore your deleted notes in icloud.com signed
in with the same Apple ID you use on your iPhone. Likewise, all can be done in the Recently Deleted
folder, and notes you deleted in the past 30 days can be recover back to your device.
Go to icloud.com and log into with your Apple ID and password.
Click Notes to access iCloud Notes that was syncing with your iPhone.
Click Recently Deleted folder on the left side bar, highlight the note you wish to get back,
and click Recover and the note will return to the folder where it originally stays before
you’ve deleted it accidentally. iCloud Notes allows you to recover one note at a time,
so if you have multiple deleted notes to recover, you need to do the recovery one by one.
Once done, go back to your iPhone’s Notes app, and refresh the folder list. All your recently
deleted notes have been restored. All right, the built-in Recently Deleted folder saves you a lot.
If your mistakenly deleted notes do not reside in the Recently Deleted folder since they got
removed permanently after 30 days, or you haven’t backed up your iPhone before notes went missing,
then you need to use AppGeeker iOS Data Recovery software. It’s capable of recovering permanently
deleted notes on iPhone without backup and without overwrite data on your device.
Let’s get started to get back the notes that have been gone from iPhone itself.
First download iOS Data Recovery from AppGeeker.com.
We’ve also put the download link in the Description section below.
Once it’s installed on your PC or Mac, run it and choose Recover from iOS Device tab.
The software also offers functions to recover your lost notes from computer backup or iCloud backup.
Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable. Make sure to tap Trust on the
device if asked. Once connected, click Start Scan button. The software will now do a free
scan around your iPhone storage and find all available data. And the found data will be
displayed on the window for instant preview and grouped into categories based on the file types.
The scanning process will take some time to finish if you have large amount of data on your device.
Don’t disconnect the device during the process.
After the scan is finished, deselect the checkbox next to your iPhone at the top left corner of the
interface if you don’t recover all files. To retrieve notes, click Notes category from the
left column. As you can see, all your notes and attachments will now be visible on the middle
pane. The notes removed from iPhone are marked in red. Click on one note and on the right pane,
preview the details before recovering, like texts, attached images, table or whatever.
Now, go ahead to get the deleted notes back. Select the notes you need to
recover by checking each checkbox, and then hit the Recover button.
It’s all that easy to recover iPhone deleted notes even if you don’t have
any backup in place or you find nothing in the Recently Deleted folder after 30 days.
If you turn on iCloud Backups to back up your iPhone regularly,
there’s great chance that your deleted notes are included in the backup that you can restore from.
To restore notes from an iCloud backup file, you have to erase your iPhone. This is an essential
step, but you need to know that you will lose all other contents since after the backup.
Alright, on your iPhone, go to Settings app, tap General, scroll down to the very bottom
and tap Transfer or Reset iPhone, then choose Erase All Content and Settings.
Enter your passcode and the erasing process should begin.
When your device restarts, go through the setup steps until you get the Apps & Data screen.
There, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Sign into your iCloud account
with your Apple ID and password so you can access your iCloud backups.
Pick an iCloud backup of yours containing the deleted notes you need to restore,
and the restore process begins automatically and gets back disappeared notes to iPhone.
In case you have a backup of your iPhone on the computer, you can use that backup to retrieve
notes back in iTunes. Plug your device into your computer and launch iTunes. On the upper-left
corner of iTunes window, click the tiny device icon to display your device. Then click Restore
Backup button in the Backups section. From the pop-up dialog, choose your backup to restore
the device to the last iTunes backup. Your notes and all other data should be recovered.
If you don’t want the overwrite happens when restoring from iTunes backup,
you can use AppGeeker iOS Data Recovery as well. It allows you to preview your iTunes
backup and selectively recover the notes you’ve deleted permanently. The recovery
process won’t affect any existing data on your iPhone so you don’t worry about data loss.
