Lost Contacts

My contacts keep disappearing random ones some old contacts that I havent used for a while and others that are new

Sometimes when I send a text message the contact name and number is there then when text is sent the name goes on the display and just the number is there

sometimes i send a text message to one person and the name changes to a different person on the reply

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
