HI I'm having trouble with contact information in my iphone 8+. It won't 'hold' new information I try to put in it and it won't find a load of my old contacts either. Can anyone help me to resolve this please?


iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


If Contacts on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...


Else add the email account that stores your contacts.

    2. Or please contact the system administrator of the organisation who provided the profile to you
