I accidentally deleted my Notes app. I’m pretty sure it was backed up to gmail but there is nothing there. I only backed up my phone to the cloud once. Is there anything I can do to retrieve my notes.

I have an iPhone 7 Plus iOS 15.0.2


i thought I saved it on Gmail or this phone (256K). I did a backup on 5/7/21 but it was just to change my battery and I paid extra for cloud storage and then didn’t pay for the next month. Is there any way I can retrieve my notes from somewhere?


is there an app to retrieve lost data?


so said. I had poetry, songs, raps, and dreams on there.


Please help me.

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use the Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.


Since it is synced to an email account and if you delete it from the iPhone it is gone from the respective account too.

The app was not deleted on my iPad so it still contained the notes that were on my iPad and in the cloud. Nothing in gmail.


I don’t remember deleting my notes app from my phone. It was just gone. I had to reinstall it on my phone. It was empty like I’d never used it at all, despite the fact that I know I have SOME notes in the cloud.


is there no program available to retrieve the notes. Aren’t they on my phone somewhere?
