Hey seidu6,


Are your contacts synced via iCloud? Do you have email accounts set up on the iPhone that you sync contacts from?


If some of your contacts are synced from email accounts, make sure Contacts is still enabled for that email account. If it is not, you will not see the contacts. For steps on how to turn on Contacts, follow this steps below or in this article: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad.

1. Go to Settings > Contacts > Accounts.
2. Tap the account that has contacts that you want to add or remove.
3. To add contacts, turn on Contacts. To remove contacts, turn off Contacts, then tap Delete from My iPhone.

If it's an iCloud account, log into the iCloud website here: iCloud. If you see the contacts there, this article has great troubleshooting steps that may resolve your issue: If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync.


Take care.
