Accidentally deleted a list on iPhone. In the updated Reminders. Instructions on web for recovery don’t fit the available iCloud options. And one page says upgraded reminders aren’t recoverable. Hard to believe.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5
Hey there, mrbobbo,
According to the information outlined in Restore your reminders on iCloud.com - Apple Support, upgraded Reminders cannot be recovered. If you're not using upgraded Reminders, the steps outlined in that resource will guide you through recovery steps.
If you are using upgraded Reminders, is there a possibility the list was saved to your iPhone, not syncing with iCloud? If so, you might be able to recover the missing list by restoring a backup that was made while the list was still on your phone, as it would have been included in the backup file. You can restore a backup using the guidance here: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support. Restoring a backup does replace everything currently on the phone with only what was on it at the time the backup was created. To avoid losing newer data, please make a current backup before restoring an old one: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Should you like to see additional features available in future iCloud updates, let Apple know directly here: Feedback - iCloud - Apple
Best.

I too, accidentally deleted a few lists. I tried restoring from back up but the lists did not return. Seeing as this is an app that comes as standard on Apple devices, I am extremely upset that it is not included in the backup. Surely there must be a work around?
Can’t seem to recover deleted reminders anymore. Whatsup?
