Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to recover notes that I had saved under my 'gmail' account, but one day while manipulating things, I lost them without deleting them. However, I have the notes from my 'yahoo' account.

Could someone please help me?
I tried using recovery tools, but I still can't find my notes from the end of February until July 6th.

Thank you in advance, everyone!

    Hello, if you have problems with your notes from your Gmail account, it has nothing to do with the iPhone since the Gmail account works through IMAP synchronization (the iPhone only displays the content of your Gmail account).
    Log in to your Gmail account via a computer and check there to see if you can retrieve your notes.

      Hello,

      I tried to do this, but nothing happened because apparently the notes I had on my iPhone under the Gmail account weren't syncing in my Gmail inbox. And I didn't understand why, in trying to resolve this, I lost my notes on the phone.


      Thank you

      My IMAP settings were correctly configured. Currently, I'm receiving the synchronization of my "new notes under Gmail" in my inbox.
      But the ones I had before that I can no longer see on my iPhone are not synchronized with my Gmail account. And that’s actually what I don’t understand.

      Apparently, there is a way to recover notes that are no longer on the iPhone through tools or utilities. And for that, I need help please.

      Thanks again to you, Fred.

      Hi, I won't be of any help to you because I don't use the kind of software that can recover lost data. Moreover, most of these programs are paid, and you never know in advance if they will be able to recover the lost data.

      I'm more the type to back up important items to avoid losing anything in case of a problem.
      Sorry, fred.ml

      Hi, the only solution that would have been feasible is to restore the iPhone backup, provided that you have one and that you haven't backed up your iPhone since the notes disappeared. In this case, you need to connect the iPhone to iTunes, immediately cancel the automatic backup or possibly disable the automatic backup before connecting the iPhone to iTunes and restoring the device.
      I'm still going to ask a question, I imagine you are using the Notes app on the iPhone, when multiple accounts are set up at the top of the app "Account" appears, by pressing "Account" the iPhone displays the accounts. What does your iPhone show?
