User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have been using numbers on my iPhone 15 pro to record farm records. I just updated to the latest version and it deleted the files I was working on. How can I get them back?

Have you been saving the files in 'iCloud Drive', or only 'On My iPhone'?
If in iCloud Drive, make sure you have signed back into iCloud after the update, then tap 'Browse' in Numbers for iOS and navigate to where the files are.
If you have a Mac, you could also try signing into your account at iCloud.com, navigating to Numbers for iCloud, and seeing if the files are there.
If, instead, you kept the files 'On My iPhone', I don't think you will be able to recover them unless you made a backup of your iPhone before you upgraded.
