Hello Jaecoop83,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, most of your contacts have disappeared. We'd like to help you get those restored.


It could be possible that you have multiple sources for your contacts. If so, you can check to see if they are all showing by opening Contacts then tapping Groups in the upper-left corner. You will see a list of all the sources for your contacts. Make sure all of them have a check in front of them. This will ensure that all of your contacts are showing.


You can also restore contacts by following the steps provided in the article below.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
