Retrieving a previous version of a note

Is it possible to retrieve old versions of a note in Notes? I accidentally deleted some critical info from a note & need to retrieve it if possible. I know how to retrieve a deleted note, but not a previous version of a note.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Recovering Older Versions of a Notes File:


Here is what to try...


A. Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


B. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone with this installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup. Your backup must be of the same iOS version as what is currently installed.


C. iCloud in Settings: Look in iCloud settings in each device, and make sure that Notes is clicked. If it is, then unclick it, and then click it again.
