Recover deleted notes on the iPhone: How it works

Notes on the iPhone are a practical thing, after all, you can quickly create the shopping list or a to-do list. It is particularly annoying, therefore, if you accidentally removed an entry - but not afraid to restore deleted notes is not so difficult.
How it works

Restore text in a note

If you just deleted the text in a note, but the file itself is still open, you can easily restore the writing with a short shake of the smartphone - of course only if you have not deactivated the function. The feature is activated under "Settings> General> Auxiliary Aids" in the "Shake to revoke" item.

Recover deleted notes

If you have deleted a complete note for any reason, you can also undo this. With iOS, a kind of "paper basket" for deleted notes is installed as standard, in which the removed entries are still lifted for 30 days - similar to deleted photos in the photo book of the iPhones.

However, the notes tray, which allows you to restore deleted notes, is somewhat hidden in the Notes app. You have to tap the symbol with the arrow to the left in the top menu bar in the app. A folder overview appears in which the sub-item "Last deleted" should appear. Tap and then swipe left over the note you want to restore. Use the Move option to move the note back to the place of origin. The same process also works via the "Edit" item at the top right of the screen, which allows you to restore several deleted notes at a time.

If the deleted note has already disappeared from the recycle bin, you can restore it by an old iPhone backup.
