information in notes field in contacts disappeared

On my iphone in the contact all my details stored in the notes field disappeared. Not the notes app of course but inside the contact Notes field. Had information related to that contact stored but it's all gone. Seems to have happened more than once as after it went blank I added some back and that's gone also. How to stop this from happening? And maybe recover the data.

iPhone 6s

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


Else Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts.If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organisation's system administrator.
