Contacts missing on iPhone 13 after iOS 17.7.1 update

I just read through a whole thread on this from about a year ago. Naturally Apple “Support” won’t allow me to reply, so I’m starting a new thread so no one rips their hair out because it’s occurring right now. Again.

The solution that worked for me was to find my contacts in settings/iCloud settings/“Apps using iCloud”; switch it off, restart phone, switch back on. They said “toggle” but I like human words.

I’m updated to 17.7.1. I have auto updates turned off so as to avoid bs like this. Apple probably doesn’t think my 13 is new enough I guess.

If you are unable to find your contacts which were stored on iCloud, then try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...

Check if the email account has been removed from the iOS mail app.

Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts.

What is your default Contacts account? If none, please add an email account and enable contacts.

Use iCloud.com to restore and recover iCloud information

You can use iCloud.com on a computer to recover recently deleted files or restore an earlier version of information that was automatically archived in iCloud.

Contacts: Restore contacts stored in iCloud on iCloud.com

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.
