Contacts missing after transfer to new iPhone
Contacts missing after transfer to new iPhone. But names appear only when searching to compose new messages?
Hi, I have transferred my data to my new iPhone but I have a lot of contacts that didn’t transfer over.
I’ve tried:
- Logging in and out of icloud on both devices
- turning contacts in iCloud settings on and off on both devices, with a wait in between to allow to sync
- Adding all groups/accounts that were present on my old phone (this re-added some, but not all contacts)
Interestingly, when I compose a new message and search for a name in the “to” field I can see the contact name and numbers. But the names and contacts are missing from my address book. Any ideas? I’m finding this very frustrating.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
