Accidentally delete important notes on your iPad? Whether it was a careless tap or a system glitch, losing valuable content can be frustrating. But don't worry; iPad notes recovery is possible, even if you don't have a backup. In this guide, you'll learn how to recover deleted notes on iPad, whether recently deleted, permanently removed, or lost without an iCloud or iTunes backup.
We'll walk you through multiple proven methods to get your deleted notes back, with and without backups. Let's dive in and rescue your important data.
Before trying advanced solutions, you should check the Recently Deleted folder. When you delete a note on iPad, it goes into this folder and stays there for 30 days before being permanently removed. This is the easiest way to retrieve deleted notes on iPad if the deletion happened within the last 30 days.
Here is how to recover accidentally deleted notes on iPad within 30 days:
Step 1. Open the Notes app on your iPad.
Step 2. Tap the "Folders" button in the upper-left corner.
Step 3. Open the "Recently Deleted" folder.
Step 4. Browse the deleted notes and find the ones you want to restore.
Step 5. Tap "Edit", select the notes, and tap "Move To" to restore them to a desired folder.
