Loss of Contacts in iPhone

Please I’m desperately in need of help. Just a few days ago, my contacts suddenly disappeared from my iPhone. I’ve done almost everything I know to do - turned off the contact toggle under iCloud, signed out and signed in again and still nothing. Please I need help with this.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Iphone 11 losing contacts Hello, I am facing a problem with iPhone Contacts. Suddenly, some of the contacts I have are no longer found in the Contacts. The contacts lost are random, some are old registered contacts and others are newly registered contacts. At the time of loss of contacts and 2 weeks back, I haven't updated the iphone nor installed any new applications. This happened suddenly and without any action. I have tried the steps required to free some storage, update the IOS, uncheck short name in Contact, and restarting the phone. But still the contacts lost are still not displayed. Also logged into icloud to see if the contacts are still there, but did not find them. Appreciate your support on resolving the issue. Regards M

Lost Contacts out of the blue Hi, I lost my contacts suddenly. I tried doing all recommended by Apple - toggling on/off; resetting Network Settings; restarting iPhone; recovering from iCloud (and yes, I have had my iCloud on) an older version (dated a month earlier from the day of loss of Contacts). All with no success. I have now completely lost hope. Need your help.

You can probably restore them from iCloud. I find this easier on a computer but you could do it on an iPhone I guess. Read the Apple support document called Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using iCloud.com
