Did anyone else just lose half their contacts?

All of a sudden, half of my contacts disappeared and are showing as numbers on my text messages. And it’s random - it’s not the most recent numbers or any sort of pattern. Anyone else? How do I fix? HELP!!!

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

Try this:


Make sure Contacts in iCloud is turned on. On your iPhone, go to:

Settings -> Apple ID (Your Name) -> iCloud.

Find contacts and make sure it is on.


If your contacts are gone then you can try to restore them here:


From a PC or Mac, go to: https://www.icloud.com

Go to Account Settings. Scroll down a bit. In the Advanced section, you will find "Restore Contacts"
