Hi skyesGma15,


If your contacts were deleted and aren’t showing in iCloud, try these steps to restore them:


1. Check iCloud Contacts Sync


• Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud and ensure Contacts is turned on.


2. Restore from iCloud.com


• Visit iCloud.com, sign in, and go to Data Recovery under Account Settings.


• Click Restore Contacts and choose a backup to restore.


3. Check Recently Deleted


• Open Contacts on iPhone, tap Lists (top-left), and check Recently Deleted (if available).


If they don’t restore, they might be lost permanently. Hope this helps!
