"Hi, Good morning. Recently I have been facing some problems that some of my contacts are getting deleted. I don't know how it's happened, so my request is how to get them back, which were accidentally deleted. And also noticed that when we delete a contact, it says delete is not possible, but it can Hide. So I think we can get back the contacts from where the contacts are hiding. Kindly help me with this issue. Thank you."
