I tried looking for the icon, couldn't find it. I called Apple and the nice lady helped me find it. It was in Utilities. Who would have thought to look there.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Hey there earnestine272,


We understand you no longer see the Contacts app icon on the bottom of your iPhone screen. We'll be happy to help.


It sounds like the icon may have just been moved and needs to be put back.


To find the Contacts app icon, swipe left until you see the App Library. From there search for the Contacts app. Once you find it, place and hold your finger on the words "Contacts" and drag it to where you want it on the Home screen.


For additional details on using the App Library, check this out: Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone


If you weren't able to find the app in the App Library, it may have been deleted. If so, let's search for and download it again from the App Store. Reference this page: Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad


We hope this helps. Cheers!
