There is not a way to do that in the Contacts app, but you can create your own Shortcut to display the recently added Contacts. Just follow these steps:

  • Open the Shortcuts app
  • Make sure Shortcut is selected on the bottom bar
  • Tap the + button in the upper right
  • Tap in the search field on the bottom and type "Find Contacts". You can choose the option when it appears.
  • In "Sort By", choose "Creation Date"
  • In "Order", choose "Latest First"
  • Tap the Search bar again and bottom and type "Show Result". Choose the option when it appears.
  • Now you just need to name the Shortcut, so tap on the top of the screen where it says "Show Result", then choose "Rename" and enter something like "New Contacts" and "Done" on keyboard"
  • Choose "Done" in the upper right


You will now have your Shortcut added and can tap on it to see a list of Contacts added with the new ones shown on the top.
