All owners of devices on the Android OS know that it is most convenient to store various information on the gadget. The same applies to contacts. Keeping phone numbers in a notebook has long been an outdated option. They can be stored, for example, on a SIM card. If there is not enough memory, transfer them to the phone memory or memory card.
Contacts on Android will always be at your fingertips. But sometimes it happens that the data disappears. By an absurd accident, important contacts may be lost. For example, you gave the phone in your hand to children or an inexperienced user and he deleted them. Or you yourself “pressed something wrong”, as it often happens, and lost the necessary information. Fortunately, there is a way out. About how to recover lost data and will be discussed further.
How to recover missing information on Android?
A smartphone is not a computer and disaster recovery systems are not an assistant. For this, there are many third-party programs designed specifically to restore erased information. You can return not only contacts, but also images, music or even video.
The principle of operation of such utilities is not quite complicated. All information that we delete does not disappear without a trace. At least for the time being. It occupies a certain part of the memory in the device, which the smartphone considers as free for further recording. And if something new was not written “over” the erased data, then it will be possible to restore it.
Contacts on Android have disappeared: how to recover by yourself?
To begin with, I would like to give an example of a list of programs with which you can work to achieve this goal:
- Wondershare Dr. Fone;
- Super Backup pro;
- Recuva;
- Android Data Recovery;
- Undelete Beta and others.
In addition to them, there are many similar software. Most often, you will need to connect the phone to the computer, but in some cases you can download the utility only on the gadget and use only improvised methods.
The best thing, of course, is to take care of the safety of the data in advance and store them in the cloud or synchronize with other devices. Android can do its job well. If s, then they will definitely not be lost. And you can edit them even from a computer, most importantly, do not lose data from your account.
We hope you can restore all the necessary contacts, and even better - if you do not lose them at all.
Android remains and for many years will be the most popular mobile platform. Basically, under the control of this operating system, users use smartphones, and, in turn, the main function of smartphones is making calls. Today we will consider the problem when on a device under running Android all contacts disappeared.
Contacts from a device running Android can disappear for various reasons: a system crash, an accidental start of the full cleanup function, virus activity, and so on. For any of the reasons for the lack of contacts, you need to do one thing - restore phone book. Fortunately, to complete this task in the most popular operating system Several methods are provided at once.
Method 1: restore contacts through your Google account
The easiest way to recover, which is that you import the contacts stored in your account google records (of course, if they are there).
And since each Android device requires a Google account to work, then surely phonebook in this profile you already have it, which means that there will be no problems with recovery.
Please note that depending on the version from the shell of the Android OS, further actions in your case may differ slightly. If you did not find this or that item, write the name of the device model and android version - try to figure it out together.
Method 2: display contacts from a SIM card
If you don’t store contacts in your Google account, they may be available on your device’s SIM card. Accordingly, you only need to activate the visibility of the contacts stored on the SIM card of your device.
Method 3: import contacts from a file
Very often, users have on their hands a contact file with the VCF extension, but do not know how to insert it into the phone. If you have a similar file, then you can transfer it to your device by quickly replenishing the phone book.
How to recover numbers that have disappeared from android phone?
For this we can use standard way recovery, which offers us Gmail, or a special application. Often the need for this arises after we reset the settings, updated the firmware, or after infection with some kind of virus. The reasons can be very diverse.
Most mobile devices Android is constantly in sync with google account - Of course, subject to access to the Internet. To restore, go to your account, select "Gmail", and then select "Contacts"\u003e "Advanced". Select the item to restore contacts. Do not forget to specify the time period for which we need to restore.
If this does not help, you must remove and add again gmail account through the settings of our device. Recovery problems may occur if the contacts were not saved as Google contacts, but on the device or on the SIM card.
As already mentioned, if the numbers from the Android phone have disappeared, you can use the special software. For example, Super Backup Pro would be a suitable application.
What to do if numbers disappear from the iOS phone?
To begin with, the restoration of numbers on this platform is possible if we previously took care of back up. Usually, contacts are restored through iTunes, the cloud (iCloud), or through a special application in OS X.
Of course, the reasons for the disappearance of the rooms can be very prosaic. For example, there are cases when we simply put the slider in iCloud in an inactive position (opposite the "Contacts" item).
If the contacts were deleted from the cloud storage, we can also restore them. Turn off Wi-Fi on your PC. After that, launch “Contacts” in iCloud (if we restore them through OS X, this item may be called a little differently, for example, “Address Book”). We find the number that interests us, open it and export it to Vcard (that is, save it with the vcf extension in case something goes wrong).
Contacts are also easy to recover from backup iTunes applications on the PC (provided that a backup has been made).
