IPhone 12 pro max, contacts search

I have a problem with the search engine. From the main screen when you draw down, contacts application is not among the applications you can search and see results. With the old iphone 11, you can type part of the name and see results immediately but not with new IPhone 12 pro max. It seems as if contacts are not among the applications included. All other applications like maps, messages are there. I am running the latest ios.

Hi there, Alkalidodo! Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. 


After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are unable to search for your Contacts from the search function on your iPhone. We definitely understand that missing that handy ability can be a concern and we'd love to help, as this is still a part of the iOS and has not been removed. Let’s start by restarting your iPhone, if you have not already done so: Restart your iPhone.


If the issue persists, please let us know if this is consistent when searching for different Contact names and when using both Wi-Fi and a cellular connection. We will be here, waiting to hear back from you. Take care!
