Contacts in gmail have disappeared

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you recover your missing contacts in Gmail:

  1. Check your contact list: Log in to your Gmail account and go to the Contacts page. Click on the "Contacts" tab and see if your contacts are listed there. If you don't see them, proceed to the next step.
  2. Check your labels: Sometimes, contacts can be hidden under a label. Go to the Contacts page, click on the "Labels" tab, and check if any of your contacts are labeled. If you find them, you can unlabel them to make them visible again.
  3. Check your filters: Filters can also affect the visibility of your contacts. Go to the Filters and Blocked Addresses page, and check if any filters are set up to hide or delete contacts.
  4. Check your contact groups: If you have contact groups, check if the missing contacts are part of a group. You can do this by going to the Contacts page, clicking on the "Groups" tab, and checking the group members.
  5. Search for contacts: Use the search bar at the top of the Contacts page to search for specific contacts. You can search by name, email address, or phone number.
  6. Check your account settings: Go to your account settings by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Gmail page. Click on "See all settings" and then go to the "Contacts" tab. Check if any settings are set to hide or delete contacts.
  7. Try a browser refresh: Sometimes, a simple browser refresh can resolve the issue. Try refreshing your browser and then check your contacts again.
  8. Check for conflicts with other apps: If you're using other apps that integrate with your Gmail contacts, such as a CRM or a contact management tool, check if there are any conflicts or issues with those apps.
  9. Contact Google Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Google Support for further assistance. They may be able to help you recover your missing contacts or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

I hope these steps help you recover your missing contacts in Gmail!
