Hey there,
Troubleshooting Lost Contacts:
I. Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings:
Is Contacts enabled in iCloud Settings? If not, then enable it, and see if it pops up. If so, then it is gone amongst all devices associated to your Apple ID. So, to enable it:
A. Enabling on an iPhone:
Enable Contacts in iCloud:
- Go to: Settings
- Tap: your name (top item)
- Tap: iCloud
- Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)
B. Enabling on a Mac:
Is Contacts enabled in Apple ID on your Mac? If not, enable it.
- Go to: System Preferences
- Click: Apple ID
- Enable: Contacts
II. Also, Try the Following:
- Restore Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and More Using iCloud.com - Apple Support
- If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t Sync - Apple Support
- Archive the Contacts you Store in iCloud - Apple Support
