Accidental text delete in note -> lost note

Hello,

I just want to express my indignation with this software (Notes) which is thought with something other than brain. I just accidentally delete all text from a very important note and I could not revover it back. Seing that there's no visible option "Undo" or something similar available, I wanted to tap Flight Mode, but it was too late, it had already synced with icloud. So my note is lost for good. Still, first thing I did was to tap on the three points at the top, hoping to find such an option.

Any decent text-editing software is supposed to have an Undo option with a certain number of steps reversible. This s**t doesn't. It's hidden in the second keyboard which shows when you tap the 123 button...

I WILL recover my notes and I will uninstall Notes from all my Apple devices, it's REALLY DANGEROUS.

I will find some text-editing application without cloud, or one with some kind of user-activated save-on-the-cloud option.

Additionally, for most (if not all) Apps, there are two swipe gestures…


  • Undo the last edit: Swipe left with three fingers, then tap Undo at the top of the screen.
  • Redo the last edit: Swipe right with three fingers, then tap Redo at the top of the screen.
