Howdy michaelart,


It sounds like you want to know more about why your contacts are disappearing. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place for answers.


When not using iCloud, your contacts are most likely linked to an email address. If you are missing contacts because you recently deleted an email account, then please add them back on. This can resolve your issue. This link explains more about how to Use other contact accounts on iPhone:


"Add contacts from another account

  1. Go to Settings  > Contacts > Accounts, then tap Add Account
  2. Choose an account, sign in to it, then turn on Contacts."


Take Care!
