Notes recovery

My grandchild deleted the Notes app. When I reinstalled it, many notes were missing. Only a few were on iCloud. Is there a way to recover the files? The phone is backed up.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

If you sync notes with iCloud, notes deleted will go to the Recently Deleted folder, where they hang out for 30 days and can be recovered, but after 30 days, if not recovered they are deleted permanently.


Open the Notes App. Tap Folders at the Top Left and look for Recently Deleted. If they are still recoverable, they will be there.
