Iphone X I have an iphone X and some of the contacts are missing. There are on my phone because when a friend texts me it comes up with their name. When I try to add them, it shows that they are already there however, I cannot find their name when I search in the Contact List. I tried rebooting my phone several times and it does not fix the problem.

Contacts don't show in phone app Hello all, Not sure what happened but my contacts seem to be there because I can text them, but they no longer seem to be in my contacts when I search them - so I can't look up a person and call them, but when I enter their name into text messages, they show up. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it? Thanks a million, Nahid

Contacts lost upon update to iOS 14.3 I’ve lost my contacts in the contact list after updating to 14.3. The contacts are still there when I use text messaging however not on the phone - and it will not bring up the contact name when I receive texts etc . I’ve tried all the online tricks to try to get them back - network settings- turning off/on phone -and iCloud held another family phone’s contacts - not mine. Any suggestions? thanks

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
