To restore your contacts on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:

1. Check iCloud: If you have been using iCloud to back up your contacts, you can restore them by signing into your iCloud account on your iPhone. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and ensure that Contacts is turned on. This will sync your contacts back to your device.
2. Restore from iTunes Backup: If you have previously backed up your iPhone using iTunes, you can restore your contacts from that backup. Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, select your device, and choose Restore Backup. Make sure to select a backup that was created before you lost your contacts.
3. Use Third-Party Recovery Tools: If you do not have a backup, you may consider using third-party recovery tools designed to recover lost data from iOS devices. Ensure you choose a reputable tool to avoid any potential data loss.

If you need further assistance, please refer to Apple's support documentation for more detailed instructions on restoring contacts from iCloud or iTunes.
