Contacts provide us with the convenience of not having to remember phone numbers. They are crucial for staying in touch with coworkers and others. Thus, it is essential to have a backup of your iCloud Contacts to ensure you never lose this vital information.

Those who have already developed the habit of making regular iCloud backups can quickly restore their Contacts from iCloud.com or iCloud backups.

Option 1. Restore Contacts stored in iCloud on iCloud.com

Warning
Your chosen backup will replace all of your iPhone's contacts. You cannot restore a specific set of contacts from iCloud to your device.

👍Here are the steps: Log into your iCloud.com > click the Profile Picture icon > iCloud Settings > Data Recovery> click Restore Contacts > select the available version you want > click Restore.

Option 2. Restore Contacts from iCloud backups

Warning
After restoration, your selected iCloud backup will automatically erase all the existing data on your iOS device. Before restoration, you're not allowed to view the content of your iCloud backups, so you’d better ensure your chosen iCloud backup saves your desired contacts.

👍Here are the steps: Go to Settings of your iPhone > click General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All Content and Settings > reboot your iPhone > select Restore from iCloud Backup on the Apps & Data screen > pick up an iCloud backup to restore.
