How do I find recently deleted notes on my iPhone?
It’s quite common to accidentally delete important notes on your iPhone and then realize that you need them back. The good news is that Apple has provided a way to recover recently deleted notes. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find recently deleted notes on your iPhone.
1. Open the Notes app:
The first step is to open the Notes app on your iPhone. If you can’t find it, swipe down from the middle of the screen to access the App Library, and then search for the Notes app.
2. Access the Recently Deleted folder:
Once you’re in the Notes app, look for the folder icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to view the Recently Deleted folder. This folder contains all the notes that you’ve deleted within the last 30 days.
3. Restore deleted notes:
Inside the Recently Deleted folder, you’ll see a list of all the deleted notes. To restore a note, simply tap on it and then tap on the “Move” or “Restore” option. This will move the note back to its original location in the Notes app.
4. Permanently delete notes:
If you’re sure that you no longer need the deleted notes and want to permanently delete them, tap on the “Select” button at the top right corner of the screen. Then, tap on the “Delete All” option. This will remove the notes from the Recently Deleted folder and free up space on your iPhone.
5. Empty the Recently Deleted folder:
After you’ve restored or permanently deleted all the notes in the Recently Deleted folder, you can empty the folder to free up more space. To do this, tap on the “Select” button, then tap on “Delete All,” and confirm the action.
Remember that the Recently Deleted folder is only available for a limited time, which is 30 days. After that, the notes will be permanently deleted. So, if you need to recover a note, make sure to do it within this timeframe.
By following these simple steps, you should be able to find and recover recently deleted notes on your iPhone. Just remember to be careful when deleting notes to avoid losing important information.
