Contacts disappeared on iPhone

All my contacts have disappeared from my iphone. I have tried to follow the various suggestions to retrieve them but have not been successful.

That only works if you were already syncing contacts with iCloud in the first place. If you were, try logging into iCloud.com using a web browser on an iPad or a computer, click or tap on Account Settings. Then look in the lower left corner to see a link to restore contacts.


Note that you cannot do this on an iPhone and it will only work if you were syncing contacts with iCloud.
