Something happened to my contacts? Some of them have disappeared. I tried to clean out the not needed ones and it did it, but then I had to add a new number and after that the o es I wanted to keep were gone and the ones I tried to delete stayed.how do I fix this?
Let’s go through a few troubleshooting steps together:
Check Sync Settings: Go to Settings > Accounts and Backup > Manage Accounts and confirm that your contacts are syncing correctly with your chosen account (Google, Samsung). Sometimes sync conflicts can cause contacts to disappear or reappear.
View Contacts from All Accounts: In the Contacts app, tap Menu > Manage Contacts > Contacts to Display. Ensure that all accounts are selected so you can see every contact stored across different services.
Recover Deleted Contacts: If your contacts are linked to a Google account, you can log in via a web browser and restore deleted contacts from the last 30 days using Google Contacts > Trash.
Clear Cache/Data for Contacts App: Go to Settings > Apps > Contacts > Storage and clear cache (and data if necessary). This can refresh the app and resolve display issues.
Backup and Restore: Use Samsung Cloud or Smart Switch to back up your contacts. Restoring from a backup can help recover missing entries.
