I somehow lost a bunch of contacts on my iphone. I checked my iCloud storage and all the lost contacts are stored in iCloud, but when I try to restore, my phone contact list does not get restored. Any help?

I am having the same issue! Just a few days ago my iphone inadvertently deleted 1000 of contacts! Now, those people only come through as phone numbers when they send me a text but if I search for them, they are nowhere to be found in my Iphone. The contacts are in my icloud. When I tried to restore the contacts nothing happened AND as recommended - I checked and all groups are checked.

Any more suggestions?
