How to Restore Deleted Contacts on Android Easily and Quickly

Have you ever experienced losing important contacts on your Android phone? Maybe you deleted it on purpose, or maybe there was a system error, virus, or device malfunction that caused your contacts to be lost. If you encounter this kind of situation, don’t panic. There are several ways you can restore deleted contacts on Android.

Deleted contacts on Android aren’t gone forever. They are still stored in your phone’s internal or external memory, or your Google account, until they are overwritten by new data. Therefore, you must act immediately before your contact completely disappears.

In this article, Bardimin will explain some methods you can use to restore deleted contacts on Android, either with or without the help of third-party apps. Check out the steps below.

Method 1: Restore Deleted Contacts from Google Account

One of the easiest and most effective ways to restore deleted contacts on Android is to use your Google account. If you’ve already synced your contacts with your Google account, you can access them again through the Google Contacts website. Here’s how:

1. Open a web browser on your computer or phone, and visit the Google Contacts website.
2. Sign in with the same Google account you use on your Android phone.
3. On the main page, click the Settings icon  (gear) in the upper right corner, then select Undo changes.
4. You’ll see a window with several time options, ranging from 10 minutes to 30 days. Choose the time that best matches when your contact is deleted, then click Confirm.
5. Wait for a while for the process to complete, then check your contacts on your Android phone. If you don’t see any changes, try restarting your phone and making sure you’re connected to the internet.

Method 2: Restore Deleted Contacts from SIM Card or Internal Memory

If you don’t sync your contacts with your Google account, or if the first method doesn’t work, you can try this second method. You can restore deleted contacts from your phone’s SIM card or internal memory by using a third-party app called EaseUS MobiSaver.

This app is one of the best data recovery apps for Android, which you can download for free from the Google Play Store. The following are the steps:

1. Download and install the EaseUS MobiSaver app on your Android phone.
2. Open the app and grant the required access permissions.
3. Select Contacts among the recoverable data types, then click Start Scan.
4. Wait for a while for the app to finish scanning the deleted data on your phone. You can see the scan results on the screen, and select the contacts you want to restore.
5. Once you’ve selected the contacts you want to restore, click Recover in the bottom-right corner. You can choose to store your contacts on a SIM card, internal memory, or your Google account.

Method 3: Restore Deleted Contacts from the Built-in Contacts App

The third method you can try is to use the built-in contacts app built into your Android phone. Some contacts apps have a feature to restore deleted contacts, or at least show hidden contacts. Here’s an example of how to restore deleted contacts from the built-in contacts app on your Samsung phone:

1. Open the Contacts app on your phone, then click the Menu icon  (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
2. Select Manage contacts, and then select Recycle bin.
3. You’ll see a list of contacts deleted in the last 15 days. Select the contacts you want to restore, then click Restore.
4. Your contacts will be returned to your contacts app.
