Some of my contacts showing up in messages but not in contacts iphone 13

Some of my contacts are showing up in my messages and not in my contacts. So I can’t call that contact unless I manually type in the number. When I do that the contact then shows up when I call that person

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

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.
