How to recover data from iOS Notes App? Or how to undo an action?, How to recover data from iOS Notes App? Or how to undo an action?

Those Undo and Redo curved arrows are there only since iOS 10. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 9.3.5 and for me only the shake method works. However, you need to have Shake to Undo enabled in iOS Settings > General > Accessibility. When you shake you will be presented with an additional popup window to confirm your undo action – good when you shake by accident 😉

"nadandeo", a little bit late reply but hope you can still hear. ^^
If you have made a backup, you’re OK. (For those who don’t know, iTunes automatically makes a backup, when you connect your iPou touch to your PC/Laptop).

Without a backup, you CANNOT recover your lost notes, except with recovery software. Here’s a USERGUIDE: How to recover lost iPod NOTES. Do your research, but from experience I can tell you that this is the only way around it. In the future, always make backups. Better safe, than sorry.

Don't fall for anything people tell you , do your own research and check company reviews.

Nadandeo, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your second post. I got inspired this morning and started writing on my phone in notes and with two errant thumb taps, I pasted over all the work. I shook vigorously several times. About the second or third time, I thought you may have been trolling. I tried again and it worked. I did undo twice and got what I was writing back and immediately saved it. WHEW! thanks so much again. You have no idea the emotions that I went through lol. All the stages of grief I think before it worked.

If your notes are associated with Gmail account,

you can open you gmail, go to "All Mail" and you will find your note.

Moreover, you will find several versions of the same note,

since google notes do backup very frequently.

One thing is sure, when you press button "Done" in Notes,

a copy of this note is saved in gmail account.

So, even if you deleted all the notes, you still have a copy of all of them in gmail, All Mail.

Also, as it happened to me, if you accidentally deleted something in a note,

there is a good chance that everything is saved in All Mail.

Good luck, hope it is helpful.

Cheers!

Thank you so much GolgenEagle. I knew the latest copy is in Gmail Notes, but having old versions in All Mail is a life saver!

Oh, Edward sir, you near enough gave me a heart attack boyo. I'll set the scene. It was a chilly November morning and, due to my tendency to procrastinate, I was frantically attempting to complete my Biology essay before class. As I was typing, my clumsy fingers slipped upon the backspace key, clearing the entirety of my essay and pushing me into a frenzy of rage. In one desperate final attempt, I googled "how to undo on ios notes" and stumbled upon your seemingly ironclad claim that I could not undo my error and that the essay would be gone forever, leaving me victim to the wrath of my fingerless-glove wearing Biology teacher. However, I managed to restore my composure for long enough to search the contents of my keyboard one more time, only to find that the undo key had been right before my eyes. In a tense and dramatic moment, I slowly made the downward swipe onto the button itself with my slender digit. Alas, the essay had returneth to my screen. I write to you today, still procrastinating, to inform you of your idiocy. I want the world to know the following. Edwardwis wrong.

Thank you! That shaking thing...saved my bacon!
