Search in contacts app is not working in iPhone

Hey zoliadler,

Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Contacts application. To troubleshoot these issues, let’s force the app to close, then restart your device:

Yeah - that doesn't work

I had the same problem, but fixed it

Backed up iphone & contacts

Then in Settings / icloud, I deselected sync 'Contacts'

You then get a prompt. Select 'Delete all contacts on phone'

Then go back into Settings / icloud

Select 'Contacts' again, and it will merge your phone and icloud contacts

and hey presto, the search works properly!

🙂
