Perhaps it has happened to you already or imagines opening your contact list in your smartphone to make an emergency phone call and find that all or most of your contacts are lost! Your family, friends, and work phone numbers are missing and of course, you don't keep them in a notebook like we did 20 years ago. Sounds terrible, doesn't it?
It doesn't matter if you yourself accidentally removed your contacts or got lost therefore from your Android bomber anchor or tweaking and tinkering metaphysical alien gathering. Now you think about all the hard work you will have to do; collect these numbers again and enter them one by one in your contact list.
Fortunately, there are easier ways to get your contacts back! I will accompany you step by step in each of them, and you will choose the one that suits you best!
Check if your contacts are hidden somewhere
Our devices can be completely bugged. For some reason, instead of showing you all contacts, you can see a specific group or list on your Android device. Just to make sure your contacts aren't on your device anywhere, check the “All Contacts” list. It's a simple thing to do:
* Open the "Contacts" application
* Press the "Menu"
* Press "Contacts to display"
* Select "All contacts".
If "All Contacts" weren't automatically selected, that was the problem and you should now be able to see all of the phone numbers listed. However, if "All contacts" were selected, it means that there is something else involved. Let's see forgiveness ditch this one.
Use a Google account to restore your contacts to an Android device
Most likely, your Android device is synced with your Google account. If so, you're in luck. The Google account has an option to back up your contacts, and simply by resynchronizing your device with the Gmail account, you will get all your contacts back. However, here's the catch. If you have made a backup in the last 30 days, you will be able to use your Google account to restore your contacts.
Let's see how to check if your contacts are saved on your Gmail account.
* Launch Google Contacts and open your Gmail account
* Click on "More"> "Restore contacts"
* You can break down consistency into tackling contacts - 10 minutes, 1 hour, yesterday, a week ago, or custom consistency.
* Select the backups you want to restore and press "Restore"
* Once the process is complete, re-sync your Android device and your Google account.
As I stated before, this option will only work if you previously have a backup of your contacts in the last 30 days. Otherwise, don't panic. There are still a few things to try.
Recover your contacts from a device without backup
There is a good chance that you will forget to back up your contacts, so here is a remedy for you. IMobie's DroidKit could help you recover contacts with just a few clicks. This app offers two different modes to recover contacts, which guarantees high success rate.
* Fast recovery from a device with no root required
* Deep Recovery from a device with root but a deep scan.
Here are the detailed operating steps:
* Download and open the DroidKit app
* Click on "Quick recovery from device"
IMobie DroidKit
* Select the "Contacts" tab and then click the "Start" button
* After, connect the Android device to your computer
* Awaiting data analysis process
* After scanning is finished, you can preview and select the contacts you need to recover
* Click on the "To device" button to restore the contact directly to your Android device.
This method could be an easy solution if you are not a technician, it only takes a few clicks. And if DroidKit - Data Recovery Quick mode does not meet your requirements, you can choose Deep Recovery mode.
Restore your contacts from the phone memory
Now let's take a step-by-step look at this process.
* Connect your Android device to your computer
* Authorize the connection with your phone by clicking on "Authorize"
* Download and open the MobiKin app
* You will see your computer scan all of your phone's memory and show you all the contacts you have, whether deleted or still exist.
* If you want to see only deleted contacts, you will see a "Show only deleted item (s)" switch - turn it on
* On the left side you will see the "Contacts" button; Supports
* Now you can select which of these contacts you want to restore
* Click on "Recover"
* Find the folder on your computer containing the deleted contacts and transfer it to your Android device.
This option is a bit more complicated, but trust me, it is worth fighting in some situations! Better than reaching out to all your contacts through social media and asking for their number again, right?
