I recently installed the iOS 16.1.1 software on my iPhone 12 and most of my contacts disappeared. The full list of contacts is still in iCloud and all settings are turned on. I've tried rebooting, hardwiring the phone to my MacBook, etc. Why is this list not syncing between my phone and iCloud? Any suggestions?
iPhone 12, iOS 16
Hi Aliquot97,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. If your contacts are not syncing, here are a few steps to help:
1. Restart your iPhone to see if the issue persists: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
2. Update your iPhone to rule out the older software: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
3. Try the steps here to see if they help: If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync - Apple Support
4. If you need further support, reach out to Apple Support here: Contact - Official Apple Support
Have a great day.
Well, my Contacts magically reappeared on my iPhone a day after I explored a lot of fixes, including hardwiring the phone to my MacBook Air and syncing everything that way. So it worked itself out...
Thanks for the tips.
