Q: After Updating to iOS 10, contacts have disappeared
After updating my iPhone 6s+ to iOS 10 last evening, something strange has happened.
I have lost almost all contacts. I cannot see them under my phone book. However, If I have a conversation with them via imessage, or watsapp, I copy that number, paste it on dial screen and it picks the contact name up.
After making the call, If i search for the same person in contacts, it does not show.
Probably sync issue? I have checked all accounts that had contacts and all settings are okay.
Can someone help please.
Cheers
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10

look for your contacts app - launch it - look at your top left for Group(if you have sync contact from icloud and emails) - check to see if hide all contacts was selected - look for icloud contacts and email if it was enabled.
i hope it helps you
or
click on settings - select contacts - look for account - check to see if icloud and your email accounts have been added - click on each of them to view if contact options has been enable
i hope it helps you
or
- Lauch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on iCloud.
- Find the Contacts toggle. For some people, this is turned to Off. Turn it On again. If asked, tell iCloud to replace your contacts.
- If Contacts is already turned On. Toggle it Off and then On again.
- If asked, choose Delete from My iPhone when turning iCloud contacts off. Don't worry, they're still stored in iCloud so they'll come right back down. We just want them to bereplaced by what iCloud has saved.
Don't worry about hitting the delete button on your iPhone or iPad. That only removes them from your local device.
(If you want to double check, log into iCloud.com from your computer's web browser and you can verify your iCloud contacts are all still there, safe and sound!)
i hope it helps you
