I lost all of my contacts when switching to a new phone, is there anyway I can get all of them back?

Enable Contacts in iCloud:

Once Contacts is is enabled on iCloud, then all would be uploaded to iCloud. Once you log back in to the same Apple ID on this, Contacts will show up.


How to Enable Contacts:

Log in to the same Apple Account on both iPhones. Then, tap Contacts in iCloud settings, making it green.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top-Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)
