Especially during an intense clean up drive to get rid of all the clutter to optimize the storage, there have been quite a few instances where I accidentally deleted some files that were supposed to remain secure. And the same story happened a few days back when I mistakenly deleted a personal note. Just when I thought I would have to go through some roundabout methods (and even try out data recovery software) to recover accidentally deleted notes on iPhone and iPad, the built-in deleted notes recovery tool came to my mind. Believe me, it more than just saved my day (and even a few bucks). Let me show you how this little nifty hack works!
So, how does the built-in notes recovery feature work on iOS? Well, it works as easily as you would expect. Whenever you delete any note, it automatically goes inside a folder called “Recently Deleted.” The deleted notes remain in the folder for up to 30 days. After that, they are deleted permanently.
