Whether you've synced your data with cloud services or need professional recovery tools, this guide will help you retrieve your lost contacts quickly and safely. Let's explore the four best methods of how to restore deleted contacts on your iQOO phone.

Since iQOO operates under vivo, its phones come with full support for vivo Cloud services. If you previously enabled vivo Cloud on your device, restoring deleted contacts is relatively simple and doesn't require any third-party software.
Here's how to recover contacts from vivo Cloud:
Step 1. Open the Settings app on your iQOO phone.
Step 2. Navigate to "Account & Sync" or "vivo Cloud", depending on your system version.
Step 3. Sign in with your vivo account credentials.
Step 4. Tap on "Contacts", then check if backup and sync are turned on.
Step 5. If contact backups are available, choose the "Restore" option to retrieve them.
If your iQOO phone was synced with a Google account, you may be able to recover deleted contacts directly from the Google Contacts web interface. This cloud-based service automatically backs up your contact list and even retains deleted entries for up to 30 days, giving you a grace period to restore them.
Steps to restore contacts using Google Contacts:
Step 1. Open your browser and visit contacts.google.com, then sign in with the Google account linked to your iQOO phone.
Step 2. Click the "Fix & manage" tab on the left-hand menu.
Step 3. Select "Restore Contacts" from the options.
Step 4. Choose the device associated with the deleted contacts and click "Restore" to begin the recovery process.
If you had previously saved your contacts to your SIM card, restoring them is quick and doesn't require an internet connection or any backup service, making it especially useful when switching phones or after a factory reset.
However, keep in mind that SIM cards have limited storage capacity, so only the contacts saved on the SIM will be recoverable, those stored in your phone's internal memory or synced to cloud accounts won't be restored using this method.
How to retrieve contacts from a SIM card:
Step 1. Insert the SIM card containing the saved contacts into your iQOO phone.
Step 2. Open the Contacts or Phone app.
Step 3. Tap the "menu" icon and go to "Settings" > "Manage contacts" > "Import/Export".
Step 4. Choose "Import from SIM card" and select the contacts you want to restore.
Step 5. Confirm the import to transfer the contacts to your phone's internal storage.
Losing important contacts on your iQOO phone can be frustrating, but as we've seen, there are several effective ways to get them back. If you didn't create a backup in advance, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android is a powerful tool that can scan your device and recover deleted contacts directly, ideal for situations with no cloud or SIM backup.
On the other hand, if you've enabled cloud syncing, both vivo Cloud and Google Contacts offer reliable ways to restore lost data with just a few taps. And if your contacts were saved to your SIM card, you can easily import them back to your phone without needing any internet connection.
Among them, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android stands out as the most versatile and reliable solution. Give it a try now.
