Missing contacts and more

So my phone no longer has the contacts option. Like when i go to call someone the button for contacts is missing. It just says recents, keypad and voicemail. And when people call me just their number pops up. But my contact list still exists in my messages. And if i try to add a number that has called me. If i click create new contact it just goes back to the main screen.

i also can no long use photo based apps. Like when i try to open snap chat i get this message and when i go to setting to turn it on the option is missing from the settings.

iPhone XS, 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?


  • See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account



  • 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
