Can I recover deleted notes without any backup?
Yes, it is possible to recover deleted notes from your iPhone even without a backup. When you delete a note on your iPhone, it is not immediately removed but gets moved to the “Recently Deleted” folder, which retains the deleted notes for up to 30 days. To recover deleted notes, follow these steps:
1. Open the “Notes” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Back” button until you reach the main folder view.
3. Locate the “Recently Deleted” folder and tap on it.
4. Select the notes you want to recover and tap on “Recover.”
What if the notes are no longer in the Recently Deleted folder?
If you can’t find your deleted notes in the “Recently Deleted” folder, don’t panic. You can still recover them using a third-party data recovery tool like Dr.Fone, iMobie PhoneRescue, or Tenorshare UltData. These tools allow you to scan your iPhone and retrieve the deleted notes even if they are no longer within the “Recently Deleted” folder.
