An iPhone does not store contacts on its own or in a backup; instead contacts are synced to the iPhone from one or more email addresses. Go to Settings/Contacts/Accounts and make sure all of your email accounts appear and have Contacts turned on. then open Contacts and tap on Groups in the upper left corner, and make sure all items are checked.


If your contacts are synced to your Apple ID iCloud address see→iCloud: Restore contacts, calendars, and more in iCloud Settings
