I've just noticed I have lost some of my contacts, yet I dial the number manually and it recognises the name of the contact. how do I restore as I can't remember every number?!

Hello,


I recommend to restore your contacts using these steps.

Check out these steps on how to perform the task and see if that matches up with the steps you performed earlier in restoring your contacts:


  1. On iCloud.com, go to Account Settings, then click Restore Contacts in the Advanced section.
  2. Available versions are listed by the date and time they were archived.
  3. To the right of the version you want to restore, click Restore.
  4. There may be more versions than can be displayed. Scroll to see them all.
  5. Note: Wait until iCloud finishes restoring your contacts before you change them. During the restore process, any changes you make aren’t saved.

Hope this help you
