Lost my contacts after downloading iOS 14.7.1

Hello eileenfrompoinciana.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see that you need help restoring contacts. We will be glad to assist.

Let's make sure that contacts are turned on in iCloud settings:

1. "Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud. 
2. Turn on Contacts.
3. When you're asked if you want to Merge or Cancel, tap Merge.

All of the information stored in Contacts uploads to iCloud."

Set up and use iCloud Contacts

If you need more help try the steps here: If you accidentally deleted your calendars, bookmarks, or contacts from iCloud 

Cheers.

Hi eileenfrompoinciana.

Take care.
