Hello SynIva,
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your contacts are missing on your iPhone, right?
If that's correct, let's check if you may have removed an email account that synced your contacts. In addition, be sure your Groups are enabled to display contacts if you have multiple accounts syncing contacts. For assistance with these steps, check out the following resource: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If these contacts were stored in iCloud only, let's see if you can restore them with the steps listed below. You can also check out additional information to review here: If you accidentally deleted your calendars, bookmarks, or contacts from iCloud - Apple Support
Restore your contacts or bookmarks from an earlier version
1. Sign in to iCloud.com.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the window, then select Data Recovery.
3. Select Restore Contacts or Restore Bookmarks.
4. Select Restore next to the date before you deleted the content.
5. Select Restore again to confirm. After the restore completes, you get a notification on iCloud.com and an email at the address on file with your Apple ID.
Let us know if this helps to recover your contacts. If not, confirm how you synced them with your iPhone before. This will help us to have a clearer understanding.
Take care!
