Hi all

I accidentally deleted my contacts button from my iPhone X. Can still access from Siri. When I go to App Store and search contacts it says ‘open’. Can anyone tell me how to get the button back without doing iCloud restore?

Thank you

You can still access contacts from the phone app


Stay tuned for more advice.

Looks to me like you didn’t delete it but accidentally moved it somewhere else, perhaps in a folder.
Look better around on your homescreens and in folders.

You mean this icon:



Since that's a system icon, can you actually delete it? You may have just moved it into another folder, as noted above.

To verify it’s still on your device pull down for “Search” and since you recently accessed it will show up in the drop menu

I have done this sort of things many times, usually with my settings icon! As @kataran suggested, just do a spotlight, by swiping down from the center of your home screen. A search window will pop up. Type in "contacts", tap the search button, you should find it.

Were you able to retrieve the Contacts app?

Yes, you can.

Figured it out. I had to reset homescreen settings and had to redo all my folders. But you can definitely delete the icon even though the app remains

Awesome and thank you for the follow-up.

I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
