my contacts are mysteriously disappearing.

Some of my contacts are disappearing. I don't know where they were stored (icloud, gmail, yahoo, etc.) When I go to each platform online, the contact(s) that are gone are not there. Is there a click or button some place that might hide some contacts?

iPhone 12

Troubleshooting Disappearing Contacts:


Re-Enable Contacts in iCloud:

Is Contacts enabled in iCloud on your iPhone's settings? If not, then enable it, seeing if they all come back. If so, then disabled it, and then enable it, seeing if they all come back. 

On the iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green in-color)
