it could be a syncing issue with your contacts..

First, ensure that your contacts are synced correctly by checking Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud and making sure "Contacts" is turned on. You can also try turning "Contacts" off and back on again to force a sync. If your contacts are stored in other accounts (like Google), verify that those accounts are enabled under Settings > Contacts > Accounts.
