Contacts and photos issues

the contacts list and favourites list on the phone app has disappeared meaning all my contacts aren’t recognised on missed calls etc and also WhatsApp. I’m also having issues with getting any access to photos from apps. I’ve tried resetting the privacy setting but to no success. What’s happened? Can anyone help?

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

force restart your device by pressing the side button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then go to settings>contacts>default account - make sure this is set to iCloud (so that your contacts always remain the same) or your primary email.
