Hello dguevara,


Thanks for reaching out to us in Apple Support Communities about not being able to see your contacts at iCloud.com. We're happy to help by looking into this more! 


Are you able to sign into iCloud on your iPad? Using these steps, and if so do you see your contacts? Sign in to iCloud on all your devices - Apple Support


1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name].
If you don’t see [your name], tap “Sign in to your [device],” then enter your Apple ID and password.
2. Do one of the following:
iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Tap iCloud, then turn on each app or feature you want to use. Tap Show All to see more apps.
The Settings screen with iCloud features turned on.
iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Tap iCloud, then turn on each app or feature you want to use.


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.

As the screenshot I posted above indicates, you can no longer view or edit contacts on iCloud.com using an iPhone or iPad. For some reason you must now use a desktop browser (Mac or PC).


Unfortunately, Apple chose to remove the Contacts icon from the iCloud Home page, leaving users (like us) wondering why it’s missing. They could have left the icon and then shown the “must use desktop browser” message when the user tapped it. A poor user interface decision in my opinion.
