You can try logging onto icloud.com/recovery, sign in with your Apple Account, select Restore Contacts. Whenever changes are made to your contacts list it will save the previous list as an archive. Try to restore to a version before yours were messed up.


As stated, clean up apps dont do as advertised on iPhone and are not recommended. Due to the nature of Apples secure App Store system, installed apps are "sandboxed" and cannot view or change content outside of its app, defeating the purpose of these apps. Many users have reported cleaner apps messing up their data and even charging them for it.

That's unfortunate, but what do you think anyone here can do about a garbage app, which you installed and gave permission to, which messed things up on your phone? Maybe instead of coming here after the damage, it would have been more helpful to have come here and asked if a cleaner app was recommended on iPhone. We'd have all told you to avoid them like the plague.
