I need to know how to get my contacts back on my new phone that I deleted from my old phone

I bought the new 14 pro max. I added a line to my old iphone 10. I have my old phone and new phone. everything was transferred to my new phone. I went into my old phone (because I am giving it to my mom) to delete contacts that she wouldn't be interested in. Well, it deleted the contacts on my new phone also.


iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Try the following: use an internet browser and log into www.icloud.com and then click your username near the top left corner of the screen. Then click "Data Recovery" near the top of the next screen and click "Restore Contacts."


In the future, use the following procedure to reset and clear an old iPhone before selling it or giving it away. This procedure will not erase data on any of your other devices. What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
