Losing contacts on your Apple device can be a real disaster, especially if you accidentally delete a contact that is very important to you. It can be a contact that a beautiful lady gave you at the swimming pool or, for example, a contact of an "old acquaintance" with whom you would like to go somewhere in the future. But hope always dies last, and even for this case, when you accidentally delete one of your important contacts, there is a solution here. Apple it has been solved very simply and all you need to restore your contacts is an internet connection. So let's see how to do it.

How to recover deleted contacts
First, you need to have on your device – in my case on MacBooku – went to the website icloud.com. Here with the help of our Apple ID and passwords to it we will apply. If we have two-factor authentication enabled on our account, you will receive a code on one of your devices that you must enter in the box that appears. Once you've successfully logged in, all you have to do is go to on the home screen Settings. Information about our facilities, etc. will appear here, but we will go down all the way down and in the lower left part of the screen we click on the option Restore contacts. A new one will appear window, in which we choose from which date we want contacts restore. Then just click on the button for the specific date Restore, and then this action once more they confirmed. After the final confirmation, the restoration of contacts will start. Now you just have to wait for a while until the recovery is complete.

Just like restoring contacts, files, calendars, reminders and bookmarks can be restored. All you need to do is to click on iCloudat the bottom of the settings, click the appropriate link, which will take you to the actual recovery. But be careful - if you decide to restore contacts, the restored contacts will overwrite all others, on all devices. Finally, I would like to add that it is necessary to activate the function of saving contacts on iCloudYou can check if you have this feature activated in Settings -> your name -> iCloud -> switch for the Contacts item.
So when I delete something from iPhone so be it Apple does it store everything?
You don't save it apple but save it to your account for renewal - that's quite a difference.
It works similarly with MS in Outlook - where it is always moved to deleted.
A lot of people are definitely happy for this feature
And is it possible to somehow delete it on that storage in the account? I don't want anyone to collect anything about me.
Well, I have the function activated, but it's empty in contact recovery :-(
Dear Lado, you just need to turn off saving on cloud no?
Yesterday I lost my contacts after an update. Only the 250 on the SIM card remained. I couldn't find them in the iTunes backup. Not even on iCloudu. This didn't help me either. Does anyone know what I'm doing? :(
Hello, on iPhone I can through cloud restore contacts that are about 3 weeks old. Is there a way to restore contacts that were deleted six months ago? Thank you
