How to Recover Deleted Contacts on Android and iPhone Easily

In today’s world of smart devices, our phones come packed with integrated internet-based services. Among these features is contact storage, which is not limited to physical SIM cards anymore. Most Android devices sync contacts to a Google account, making it easy to transfer them to a new Android device without losing them.

Additionally, this setup offers a layer of security since Google doesn’t immediately delete contacts you remove. Instead, it keeps them in the trash for 30 days, giving you a chance to recover them. Similarly, iOS users can recover and view deleted contacts with the help of iCloud. Let’s dive into the steps to recover deleted contacts on both Android and iPhone devices:

How to Recover Deleted Contacts For Android Users:

Using Google Contacts:

• • Open Google Contacts.
  • Tap “Restore & manage” at the bottom.
  • In the “Restore & manage” menu, select “Trash.”
  • Open the Trash folder in the Google Contacts app.
  • Here, you’ll find contacts deleted within the last 30 days.
  • Tap on the deleted contact.
  • Select the contact you want to recover.
  • In the next menu, tap “Restore” to bring it back to your contact list.

If you’ve recently deleted a contact, you can simply go to “Restore & manage” > “Recover contacts” and click “Recover” to restore contacts from a previous Google backup made within the last 30 days.

How to Recover Deleted Contacts For iPhone Users:

Using iCloud:

• • Log in to iCloud.com in your browser.
