Troubleshooting Lost Contacts:


Some things to try...

A. Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings:

See If “Contacts” is somehow disabled.

  • If it is disabled, then enable it.
  • If it is enabled, then disable it and then re-enable it.


B. Retrieve Contacts from Other Devices:

Have a Mac?: Enable Contacts in iCloud on both your iPhone and Mac, and then search through using either device. Using a computer may be more user-friendly when searching through Contacts.
