Edited iPhone contacts will not save.

Question

Edited iPhone contacts will not save.

Has anyone been able to resolve the issue of edited contacts reverting to old versions? Each time I edit contacts on my iPhone, they go back to the pre-edited text after a few moments.

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

If Contacts on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using ...

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