Phone blocks contacts

My phone keeps blocking and erasing contacts. It is ruining my life. This has happened for years and no one has been able to help me.

Any advice?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


If Contacts on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...


Else add the email account that stores your contacts.
