There have also been reports of contacts mysteriously disappearing completely, which may require you to push them back down from iCloud again. Regardless of the situation, you can restore contacts from your latest iCloud backup in just a few taps.</p> <!--break--> <h2>How to re-download contacts from iCloud to your iPhone or iPad</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>iCloud</strong>. </li> <li>Turn <strong>On</strong> the option for <strong>Contacts</strong> — if it's already on, turn it off and then back on again to trigger a re-download.
