How do I recover a reminder list that was accidentally deleted.

I accidentally deleted a reminder list and I read on another article that there was an option to recover it from iCloud - but when I go to settings - under the advanced section where it said I would be able to restore reminders - there is not that option. There is only restore files, restore contacts, restore calendars, restore bookmarks.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, that is what I was explaining above in my question - I can't do that. When I go to iCloud.com and sign in and go to settings - there is no option to restore calendars and reminders. under Advanced section - all I have is calendars. There is no 'calendars and reminders'. Just calendars.

Thanks for the reply - but as I noted in my original question - that doesn't work for me. "when I go to settings - under the advanced section where it said I would be able to restore reminders - there is not that option. There is only restore files, restore contacts, restore calendars, restore bookmarks. "


There is no 'Calendars and Reminders' option for me. Just calendars by itself

Here are a few things you can do on your iPhone to retrieve reminders.

1. Restore reminders from iCloud on iPhone

Apple has been working to keep users from losing data including reminders on their iPhone with its backup service—iCloud. If you have a backup in iCloud that you can access before the reminder on iPhone disappeared, You can sign into iCloud.com and restore missing reminders. Just do this:

  • Sign in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID.
  • Click Settings icon. 
  • Scroll down and click Restore Calendars and Reminders under Advanced section. 
  • Select a backup you want to recover reminders from, click Restore.
