How to recover your contacts

Hi  tekeya2019,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today. It sounds like you aren't seeing your Contacts on your new iPhone.

If those Contacts were being synced to iCloud, you should be able to retrieve them by using the same Apple ID in Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud. Check out: Get help using iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders.

You can also check to see if iCloud.com has these Contacts, as well.

If you were syncing to iTunes, you will find your Contacts there: Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes on your computer.

You also could have been syncing Contacts with a third-party email. You can see if that is switched on in Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Accounts > [Your Email].

I hope that helps.

Have a great day!

You can also restore your contacts by visiting the iCloud website and then by clicking onto settings. There's an option there for restoring contacts. Here's a screenshot to help you.
