My daughter accidentally deleted some of my iCloud data trying to improve my storage. Can it be recovered?

My daughter was trying to improve my storage and turned off backup to most of my apps. After doing so I lost my notes

(& most of my contacts 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Is there any way I can retrieve the data to my phone?

If you contacts were synced with iCloud, you may be able to recover them.


Use an internet browser and log into https://www.icloud.com/ and then click on your user icon in the top left corner of that webpage. On the next page click "Data Recovery" near the top middle of the screen.


If you weren't using iCloud contacts and want to set that up for the future, see: Set up iCloud for Contacts on all your devices - Apple Support


I don't know of any option to recover Notes.
