Iphone contacts disappeared

My iphone 11 contacts suddenly disappeared and I cannot see my default account (even when i have more than one account). How can I get my contacts back?

Enable Contacts in iCloud Settings:

See If “Contacts” is somehow disabled.

  • f it is disabled, then enable it.
  • If it is enabled, then disable it and then re-enable it.


As to why they would Just Disappear:

One could only guess. Perhaps an update was installed, or, perhaps they were removed from iCloud. I would most certainly modify my credentials if iCloud settings were unknowingly changed.
