Accidentally highlighted text in notes and erased it

Hi, I accidentally clicked on the select all and highlighted all the text and erased it. I tried restoring my phone to an earlier backup from iCloud but it didn’t work. The note is gone. Anyone can help? Thanks!

iPhone XS, iOS 13

Hi VirgiSanchez,

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you did not delete the note itself, but the content within the note. If so, restoring a backup was your best option. Since the note is still missing, you will most likely not be able to recover it. 

Otherwise, you'll find helpful steps for recovering missing notes here: If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


I hope some of this information is helpful.

Cheers!
