Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Not sure what I did but for some reason I know longer have the same contacts on my phone as I do on my iPad. My I pad has more. Please advise how to get them back on my phone. Thanks

Not sure what I may have done but my iPhone now has less contacts than my iPad. I would like them to be synced. Please advise. Thanks

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.
