viewing Contacts

Why does my iPhone 11 with IOS 13.2.1 keep freezing when viewing my contacts? Is doesn't do it every single time. But it does often. Also many times when searching for a contact, when i type in the first letter in the search bar, all my contacts disappear. The only support I've gotten so far is to reboot my phone, which works. But it still keeps doing it again later. Help!


iPhone 11, iOS 13

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contacts Account?
  3. Which email account you are using to store Contacts?

  • Learn how to add an email account and make it default (Watch the GIF)
  • This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
