How to Recover Deleted Safari Bookmarks on iPad

Any way to recover Safari bookmarks from an iPad?

I accidentally deleted my bookmarks from Safari on my iPad mini, all of them, about 200 in total. I was very sad about this. I was just trying to deleted the history. Apparently, I deleted the bookmark folder instead. So stupid! I can't afford to lose them, because most of them are related to my work and I used them everyday. Please help me get them back. Thanks a lot!

Data loss happens almost everyday, even every hour. If you've handled them in a proper way, you can rescue your previous data easily. As to the bookmarks on an iPad (iPad Pro, iPad mini 4, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The new iPad or iPad 1, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6S), there are at least three ways that you can try to retrieve your deleted Safari bookmarks, by using iCloud, iTunes and your iPad.

The first way: restore your iPad bookmarks from iCloud

If you have an iCloud account, you can try this way as the first try. When you found that you have deleted the wrong data, and you happened to have the data stored on your other Apple devices, please turn off the Internet immediately to stop the automatic synchronization on all your Apple devices. Go to the other iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, and restore its backup from iCloud. Then you can turn on the Internet and sync the data to your iPad where you lost the bookmarks.

The second way: restore your iPad bookmarks from iTunes

If you have synced your iPad with iTunes recently, you can also try to restore your iPad from the iTunes backup. Before you do this, make sure that you have disabled the auto-synchronization in advance, so that the iTunes backup won't be updated. Then you can restore it easily.
