The need to restore contacts onandroid can occur after full formatting of the phone, after accidentally deleting some information or because of the consequences of viruses. Although, no matter what the reason for the loss of data, the process of restoring contacts from this does not change.

Restoring contacts via Gmail

Most of the phones running on Android OS,have a streamlined mechanism for synchronizing data with the Gmail account. So, to restore the list of contacts, first you need to log into your Google account. In the upper left corner there is a button "Gmail", you need to click it and then select the "Contacts" item. After that you need to click the "Advanced" button (it is located above the contact list) and select the "Restore contacts" item. Then you must specify the date on which you need to restore contacts (a week ago, a month ago, you can even specify 10 minutes ago or an hour ago) . In case you suddenly have to cancel this procedure, you need to remember the time when the contact list was restored. Then you need to start the restore procedure using the "Restore" button and when the rollback is complete, a corresponding message will appear at the top of the screen. You can cancel the restore procedure at any time by clicking the "Cancel" button, which is in the yellow notification at the top of the screen. If there is no such button, you can restore the contacts again - you will need to specify the time before the start of the restore procedure. In case this did not help, you need to check whether the contacts were synchronized with the Gmail account (Settings - Accounts - Contacts). You can also try to disable the synchronization of contacts on the phone, go to the contact list and try to restore the data. If this also did not help, you can also try to delete and re-add Gmail account in the phone settings. The most common problems with recovery are if the contacts were saved on the SIM card or on the phone, rather than as Gmail contacts.

Restore contacts through apps

You can also restore contacts on android withusing special applications. For example, Super Backup Pro. After installing the application, you need to start it and select the "Backup" item. After that, a new window will appear with the name of the backup copy of contacts, and orange will indicate the place where this file will be saved. After clicking the "OK" button, contacts will be restored. In addition, this program can send a backup copy to e-mail.
