An Extensive Guide to Restoring Notes from iCloud

Part 1. Recover notes from "Recently Deleted" folder on iCloud.com

If you are using Upgraded Notes, then you can easily recover notes from iCloud. Whenever a note is deleted, it goes to the “Recently Deleted” folder on iCloud and stays there for the next 30 days. Therefore, if you act promptly in the next 30 days, then you can recover deleted notes from iCloud by visiting the dedicated folder. You can follow these simple steps to learn how to recover deleted notes from iCloud:

1. Go to iCloud.com and log in with your account credentials. This should be the same account that is linked to your device.
2. Now, go to the “Notes” section. Here, you can find all the saved notes.
3. From the left panel, go to the “Recently Deleted” folder. This will display all the notes deleted in the last 30 days.
4. Tap on any note you wish to recover. From here, you can view the content of the selected note.
5. To restore the note, just click on the “Recover” button. You can also drag and drop it to another folder to move the note.

That’s it! By following this approach, you can recover deleted notes from iCloud without any trouble. Though, you can only recover notes that are deleted in the last 30 days through this method.

Part 2. How to restore notes from iCloud backup selectively?

Another way to restore notes from iCloud is by using a third-party tool like Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (iOS). Though, before you proceed, you should know how your iPhone stores different notes. Ideally, notes on iPhone can be stored in three different ways - on the device storage, in Cloud, or on any other service (like Google). Furthermore, the iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is already stored in iCloud like notes, contacts, calendars, etc.

Though, you should save your notes in iCloud if you wish to restore them from an iCloud backup. Since you can’t simply extract notes from iPhone backup directly using a native method, you would need to use a dedicated solution like Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (iOS). The tool can let you extract notes from an iCloud backup so that you can restore them selectively.

As a part of the Dr.Fone toolkit, it is extremely easy to use this tool. It can recover those lost and deleted data from your iPhone storage. Also, you can recover content from iCloud or iTunes backup without resetting your device. Simply preview the recovered data and restore it whenever you want. The tool is compatible with all the leading iOS devices and has dedicated desktop applications for Mac and Windows PC. You can use it to learn how to restore notes from iCloud synced files by following these steps:

1. İlk olarak, Mac veya Windows PC'nizde Dr.Fone araç setini başlatın. Karşılama ekranından “Veri Kurtarma” modülüne gidin.

   

2. İCloud'dan notları kurtarmak için “iOS Verilerini Kurtar” seçeneğini tıklayın.

   

3. Şimdi, arayüzün sol panelinden “iCloud senkronize edilmiş dosya dosyasından kurtar” seçeneğine gidin. Doğru kimlik bilgilerini kullanarak iCloud hesabınıza giriş yapın. Daha önce indirilmiş iCloud ile eşzamanlanmış dosyaları buraya yükleme seçeneği de vardır.

   

4. The application will automatically display a list of all the previous iCloud synced files including their crucial details. Select the backup that you wish to recover.

   

5. The following pop-up will appear. From here, you can select the kind of data you wish to recover. To restore notes from iCloud synced files, make sure the option of “Notes” is enabled before clicking on the “Next” button.

   

6. Wait for a while as Dr.Fone would download the data and display it on the interface. You can just visit the respective category from the left panel and preview the data on the right. Select the notes that you wish to restore and click on the Recover button.

   

Not only to recover notes from iCloud, but you can also use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (iOS) to restore iPhone photos, videos, Note, Remind, etc. from iCloud synced files.
