Hello Chaaminda,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to save new contacts to your Exchange account. First, go on your iPhone to Settings > Contacts and make sure your Exchange account is the only one with Contacts turned on or go to Settings > Contacts > Default Account and make sure your Exchange account is selected if you need to have other accounts sync contacts. Then restart your iPhone as the shut down and start up process is important to keep the iOS software running properly. iOS clears cached data and does other system optimizations when you turn your device off and on.


Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Best regards.

Dear Joseph,


Thank you very much for your kind reply. As mentioned in my inquiry, all my exchange contact just disappeared from iphone, Yes, I have followed above recommended action prior to contact the Apple community but haven't had any success. Finally, I managed to recover Contacts by installing Outlook app and copy Contacts to the iphone.
