Many of my phone numbers were deleted after last update, how can I get them back?

Many of my phone numbers have disappeared, I did not delete them. How can I get them back.? Also sometimes when I message the phone adds number one and it will not send message.

Hi Samnrice,


Thanks for reaching out about missing your contacts. We can help with this.


Go to Settings > Contacts > Default and check to see that the correct account is selected.


You can also check to make sure they are still saved by logging into that account online and viewing your contacts there. This will tell us if they have been deleted from the account or if they're just not showing up.


Take care.
