i lost my contacts after deleting an old work email account. Apple suggested that I go to iCloud and to advanced settings to restore my contacts to an older version. I did that but nothing has happened. How long does that take?
iPhone 11, iOS 15
Where were your contacts stored?
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 were on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...
Else Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts. If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organisation's system administrator.
I assumed my contacts were backup up like everything else - in the cloud. If these contacts were actually linked to the old work gmail account that I had and deleted, is there anyway to get them back? Would doing a factory reset and using my last “backup sync” bring them back?
How long does restoring contacts take, and do I have to do anything else to make it happen?
