How to recover notes on iPad (Air, Mini, Pro) without backup

iPad features a useful built-in Notes app to help you write down your quick thought, create a to-do list or outline your ideas. It could be easier to take notes on an iPad (Mini, Air, Pro) than taking a notepad and a pen with you. If you don't like typing any letters, you can also dictate the notes.

It is amazing how convenient a few taps on iPad Notes can manage your life and work. A few wrong taps on the tablet screen and oops, your notes just slip away. What makes you devastated is the lack of any backups to be used or the failure to restore from iTunes or iCloud backup.

Luckily, the chances for recovering notes on iPad without backup are greater than you thought. Simply put, when you delete files on your iPad, the tablet doesn't erase them right away but marks the data as "deleted", which sends a signal that the space is available to be overwritten. Therefore, the notes you deleted mistakenly may remain partially or completely intact on the device, waiting to be recovered or replaced.
