It sounds as if you may be talking about the Favorites widget. That has been removed. You can download a third party app from the App Store that will do pretty much the same thing. Search for "Favorites widget". Or, you can use Siri, e.g. "Call Mom". Or you can use the Favorites tap in the Phone app.


You can also let Apple know you'd like to see that widget returned by submitting feedback:
