iPhone Contact AutoComplete
I've lost all my contacts on iCloud. I've noticed though that in iMessages, I can start typing the name of a deleted contact...the information is still there. Can I access this information and upload it to my iCloud?

Welcome alanfromstratford,
Thanks for posting on the Apple Support Communities. I see that you lost all your contacts on iCloud, but they still come up when you type the name of a deleted contact in iMessages. I know how important contacts are. I will be more than happy to help.
There is an easier way to restore contacts from iCloud. Take a look at this article:
If you accidentally deleted your calendars, reminders, or contacts from iCloud - Apple Support
In particular, check out this section:
Restore your contacts from an earlier version
- Sign in to iCloud.com.
- Click Settings.
- Scroll down and click Restore Contacts under Advanced.
- Click Restore next to the date before you deleted your contacts.
- Click Restore again to confirm. After the restore completes, you'll get a notification on iCloud.com and an email to the address on file with your Apple ID.
Take care!
