How can I recover lost files in the Numbers app on iPhone? Yet another update of Numbers last night resulted in the loss of two of the 5 files from my phone. Has anyone else experienced this ? Is there a way of getting them back ? (I have no knowledge of any difference between the files that went and those that remain). [Re-Titled by Moderator]
