my iPhone
Why did many of my contacts disappear? I have to create new contacts for them! But, when I do a search, “Siri found in apps” pops up with their name but I still have to create a new contact. Ridiculous...

Two Things:
A. Enable Contacts in iCloud:
Is Contacts enabled in iCloud Settings? If not, then enable it, and see if they pop up:
- Go to: Settings
- Tap: your name (top item)
- Tap: iCloud
- Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)
B. Restore your iPhone from a Backup:
Have any backups of this iPhone prior to this occurrence? If so, then restore your iPhone from it. If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always backup your device prior to making any major change to it(which may be the case here). Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this installation, should anything go wrong from here on out.
Oh, and a third thing...
