IPhone 4s deleted my contacts?

So I received a text and I couldn't open it, kept trying still couldn't open it. I tried other apps and Phone and Contacts weren't opening either. All other apps were working perfectly.So, I turned off my phone and turned it back on and opened my contacts and BAM they were gone.

I have never connected my phone to iTunes, nor used iCloud. Is there anyway I could get my contacts back?

If you've never backed up your phone to iTunes or iCloud, I'm afraid they're gone for good. Sorry!

As you have never connected your phone to iTunes there's probably nothing you can do as the phone was never backed up. Meaning that all your data was stored solely on the handset and the handset itself. Try holding the home button and the power button together until the phone reboots and see if it works. Keep trying that for 3 or 4 times. If it works then either back the contacts up through iCloud or connect to your computer and then backup to it.iCloud is probably the best to backup to. If that does work then as soon as your finished restore the phone and set it up as a brand new iphone so that the operating system doesn't carry forward the bugs from the last installed version of previous operating system.

  • Whatsapp contacts - if they're onnm contacts am I on theirs? I have the phone number of an old friend stored on my iPhone and they also show on my whatsapp contact list… Does this mean that they still have my phone number stored in their phone and also have whatsapp installed on their phone? The chat thing says they haven't been seen since 28th sept? If they didn't have my number on their phone would they still show as one of my contacts on whatsapp?

  • My contacts keep changing into my parent's contacts? I'm using my Dad's old iPhone 4, so it has all of his data. I cleared out everything that was his but I hate the part where each time my parent's add a new contact to their phone, everything syncs over to my contacts, so I'm scrolling down my list and see a new person I don't know but my parents do. Is there a way to change this?
