How to get my iPhone contacts back after they disappeared?
This morning after installing some updates (irrelevant but that's all I did), my phone said that iCloud needed my password so I cancelled it. Then it kept asking me for it so I entered it. Later today I went through my contacts to find that about 80% of them have disappeared. This didn't happen immediately after as I was texting someone this morning after the updates whose name disappeared a few hours after. I have never used iCloud and never backed anything up. I do not understand why they would just disappear. How do I get them back and what could I have done? I have an iPhone 4 and am on ios 7 which was installed when it came out.
First of all be calm, You can easily recover your deleted contacts or whatever. Just use EASEMOBI SAVER which is really great application to recover anything from your iphone.
It looks like you just didn't enable back iCloud sync after the updates.
For a list of reasons for why iphone contacts go missing and solutions, refer to the following page:

- 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?
- Some of my notes on my iphone disappeared, how do I get them back? I deleted my Mail account, forgetting that notes were attached to it because I wanted to have a different mail account on my phone, and when i realized i added it back, and all of my notes were still there, but they were all duplicated since i had both accounts on I guess? So i was deleting some of the duplicates and then (i don't know how or why) all my notes for the last 6 months got deleted. Is there any way to get them back?
- My drop down menu on iPhone 4S has disappeared! How do I get it back? The grey menu at the top of my screen that you can slide down and see weather, new notification and messages has disappeared! I want it back cuz it's bugging me I can't scroll down to see if I have a message anymore so is their a way to get it back? Sometimes I accidentally hit stuff and like delete an app or change a setting but i don't know how to fix this one!
- My contacts disappeared from my contact list on the iPhone 5s, randomly. How can I get them back? My contact list somehow erased when it was in my purse. The contacts are still there when I create a text message or search someone to text, but I can't dial out because the contacts from my contact list are gone. My iCloud is still on, so it's not that. Is there a way I can get them back?
