iPhone Contacts Missing? - How to get them back!

In this video I explain the reasons why your contacts are missing and what you can do to get them back. There are 3 likely scenarios and usually all that has happened is you are storing your contacts on another server. I explain this in detail so you can understand the problem and what you need to do to fix it. Don't Panic! Odds are we can get your contacts back, it's not a guarantee but a lot of times all we need to do is simply find out where the contacts are and then put them back on the phone, so follow my steps and we should be able to get you taken care of!

Why did they go missing in the first place?

[@rattleheadtech847]

It depends - could be a new apple ID (most likely not that) - could be those contacts were associated with an email address that a person put into their phone, usually adding an email address that included contacts they had saved under that email, they then port over to the device but then the email address is removed or deleted from the phone - could be something else. The main thing to understand is that the contacts did not just vanish or get deleted but instead the thing that they were associated with was removed from the phone and that's why they're gone - in rare circumstances it could be an issue with the iCloud but not usually the case

You need to just explain the solution, and stop all the story telling.

[@rattleheadtech847]

I'll take that under advisement but my videos are not designed for quick solutions but rather to explain how you got into the situation you're in so you can avoid being in that situation in the future. I at least hope you were able to get your contacts back!
