Losing Contacts

Hello

I have had a recent problem on my iPhone 8 Plus. I constantly am having contacts "disappear". I will go back and add them and then, days later, they are gone again. Any help would be appreciated!

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

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

This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
