Jimmy had a talk with me right now. He said: “I lost contact on iPhone. Fortunately, I just remember your phone number. Do you know how to recover my lost iPhone contacts?”

 

Luckily, I happen to know a piece of iPhone data recovery software, and it is MiniTool Mobile Recovery for iOS. As a matter of fact, this program is used to recover iOS data including photos, messages, notes, contacts, and more from iOS devices, such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. In addition, you can use Windows version on your Windows Operating System, and Mac version on your Mac Operating System.

 

Recommendation! You still can find a suitable way to retrieve deleted contacts on iPhone from this post: 5 Specific Methods to Recover Deleted Contacts on iPhone.

 

If you have never used this software before, you can download (Windows version & Mac version) and install the Free Edition to your computer to have a try first.

 

Open this freeware and enter its main interface. Then you can see that three recovery modules are listed on the main interface as follows.

 

If you want to recover iPhone contacts from the device directly, you can connect your iPhone to the computer, click on the “Recover from iOS Device” and do as the software tells you to do. Here, I think you need to know that you should stop using your iPhone as soon as possible to avoid the original iPhone contacts being overwritten by new data.

 

If you are sure that the lost contacts are saved on your previous iTunes backup file, you can use “Recover from iTunes Backup File” to get them back.

 

If the lost contacts on iPhone are stored on iCloud backup file, you will have another chance to recover them with “Recover from iCloud Backup File”. However you should know that this software can’t get iCloud backup of iOS 9 and its latter version.

 

The operations of these three recovery modules are very simple. But if you encounter some issues when you are using this software, you can view the user manual to get some possible solutions.

 

Why not try this tool if you lost contacts on iPhone.
