Hi mohair,

Sorry I don't know what has happened top your contacts ...

... did you accidentally delete them ?

Have you checked the trash / recently deleted folder ?

Is your iPhone low on storage space, so iPhone had to fid more in order to keep working?

How to check the storage on your iPhone:

Wondering if you have iCloud, and can restore your Contacts from there ?

Add contacts to iPhone

If you want, you could set your contacts up again from your eMail accounts

Manage contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Hope something here will help :-)
