Troubleshooting Lost Contacts:

Some things to try...

A. Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings:

See If “Contacts” is somehow disabled.

If it is disabled, then enable it.
If it is enabled, then disable it and then re-enable it.

B. Retrieve Contacts from Other Devices:

Have a Mac?: Enable Contacts in iCloud on both your iPhone and Mac, and then search through using either device. Using a computer may be more user-friendly when searching through Contacts.

C. Some Links to Use:

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
