Accidental text delete in note -> lost note

Hello,

I just want to express my indignation with this software (Notes) which is thought with something other than brain. I just accidentally delete all text from a very important note and I could not revover it back. Seing that there's no visible option "Undo" or something similar available, I wanted to tap Flight Mode, but it was too late, it had already synced with icloud. So my note is lost for good. Still, first thing I did was to tap on the three points at the top, hoping to find such an option.

Any decent text-editing software is supposed to have an Undo option with a certain number of steps reversible. This s**t doesn't. It's hidden in the second keyboard which shows when you tap the 123 button...

I WILL recover my notes and I will uninstall Notes from all my Apple devices, it's REALLY DANGEROUS.

I will find some text-editing application without cloud, or one with some kind of user-activated save-on-the-cloud option.

Additionally, for most (if not all) Apps, there are two swipe gestures…

Undo the last edit: Swipe left with three fingers, then tap Undo at the top of the screen.
Redo the last edit: Swipe right with three fingers, then tap Redo at the top of the screen.

There is an “undo” function.

Assuming that you have not disabled the feature, most Apps allow you to undo most actions with a simple “skake” of the device:

Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Shake to Undo - set to ON

Similarly, you can usually undo the previous action from the keyboard:
