Emergency contacts deleted

My emergency phone numbers which are my children were deleted from my contacts. Not happy with Apple right now. What if I really needed to contact them because of an emergency.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Hello Nana5227, So are you saying all your Emergency Contacts were deleted in the Health Medical ID app? Was it your Medical ID that got deleted? There are several ways to check your medical ID

Settings > Medical ID
Settings > Emergency SOS > Edit Emergency Contacts in Health
Health app > Click on your picture ID to the right of Summary > click on Medical ID

Me also. I woke up this morning to find my emergency contacts, only the emergency contacts, deleted from my ALL CONTACTS list. But, they are still visible in the health medical app. I’m going to run a few workarounds, be back shortly.

OK so it turns out just two of my emergency contacts were deleted from my Contacts lists, and I just re-added them by restoring my contacts from iCloud. Or you can just manually re-enter. Doesn’t explain why that happened in the first place. I sure could use some advice here. Anyone?
