It is because we trust Google that we store both our data and contacts there. Regardless of what happens to our phones, at least our contacts remain safe in Google. In addition to deleting data, Google can sometimes break our hearts. Have you experienced this, too? Do you not have any contacts on your Android or iPhone phone? Find out how to recover deleted contacts from Google.

Many people lose contacts by accident, forgetting that deleting contacts on one device also deletes them on the rest of their devices. Contacts can also be lost due to a lack of synchronization.

Your Google account might have accidentally deleted someone’s contact information. Fortunately, you can retrieve that information.

You can relax if you have deleted contacts in Gmail and realized the mistake only later if you have made changes within the past 30 days. In your Gmail address book, every contact is tracked for 30 days. If you accidentally delete one or more contacts, you can restore them in just a few clicks.
