Original Title: Missing contacts
iPhone 16, iOS 18
Please see the pic below for a better understanding...
If you are unable to find your contacts which were stored on iCloud, then try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...
Check if the email account has been removed from the iOS mail app.
Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts.
What is your default Contacts account?
Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in the SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo, or any Other
If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.
Mine updated to 18.6.1 a couple of days ago and it happened to me.
PS - this is a brand new 16 pro max and the data transfer went perfectly and was all good for a week or so….
has to be an issue with apple no matter what they say!!!
Even after trying to recover contacts from iCloud? I was about to try that.
You are right. If I pull up a text and enter the name of a missing contact, the name pops up. But the person is not listed in my contacts and it only saves as a phone number. Ugh.
Same here! What a disaster, I rely on these Contacts for business. Catastrophe.
Nothing of this helped
Sorry but you are wrong as the person below has mentioned (I also run my own Unjx consultancy)
this is a bug or an issue with APPLE and not us users !!!
I reset and restored from backup (which was from pre-update) and my contacts were all back. Then, 2 days later, suddenly while using the phone midday, they disappeared again. Frustrating
One month now without my contacts and apple has done absolutely nothing to help me fix
If you read the thread from the beginning you will see many people have spent hours with Apple support without success
Also notes in contact, Company name and reference details are missing
what are you doing apple ?
Contacts missing after iOS 18.6 update
