How do I restore contacts on my phone that Apple "deleted" somehow. I have tried numerous solutions found online, but nothing has worked.

Hello there, rinwilly!

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're trying to restore deleted contacts on your device. If your contacts were stored in iCloud, check out this article to Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using iCloud.com.

If your contacts were associated with a third party account, check out this article to Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and be sure you have added your account and turned on the option to sync the contacts.

Take care!
