But what if the number isn't there? Don't stress, we've got more tricks up our sleeve.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap on your Apple ID at the top.
3. Tap on iCloud.
4. Make sure the toggle for Contacts is on. If it's off, turn it on and wait for your contacts to sync.

Once your contacts have synced, open the Contacts app and tap on the Groups tab at the top. Here, you can search for the deleted number. If it's there, tap on it, then tap on Add to My Contacts.
