Hi BirdieMESO,



It's definitely odd that your contact names would fail to appear and then reappear. Fortunately some standard software troubleshooting steps can help resolve the odd occurrences such as the one you've experienced.


As a first step, try force closing all open apps and resetting your iPhone.

Force an app to close in iOS

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If your contacts happen to go Houdini on you again, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.


  1. Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
  2. Put your device in recovery mode.
  3. When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
