The Best Way to Recover iPhone Contacts from iTunes Backup

iPhone contacts play an important role in your daily life. They are about the phone number, address, email box, and more. You must rely on them to contact with your relatives, friends, client, colleagues, etc. One day, if they are lost or deleted suddenly, your life will fall into disorder. So, if this issue happens to you, you must want to find a way to restore the lost/deleted iPhone contacts.

MiniTool Mobile Recovery for iOS is a good choice, which has three recovery modules: “Recover from iOS device”, “Recover from iTunes Backup File” and “Recover from iCloud Backup File”.

If you have made an iTunes backup before the contacts disappeared, you can apply the second recovery module to get them back. But at first, you should make sure that you have installed the latest iTunes version on your computer.

Step 1. Open MiniTool Mobile Recovery for iOS Free Edition to enter the main interface and click “Recover from iTunes Backup File” from the top recovery modules list. Then all the iTunes back files on the computer will be displayed on the interface. Select the relevant one which contains the deleted important contacts and click “Scan” to continue.

Tips:

2. If the iTunes backup file you want to use is not listed in the interface, you can click the blue icon ”Select” and choose the iTunes backup file manually from other paths to recover your contacts.

Step 2. When the scanning process is finished, you will get the scan result as following. Click “Contacts” from the left list, and all the contacts including existing and lost/deleted will be displayed on the middle of the interface. Select the ones you want to recover, click the lower right side icon “Recover” and do as the wizard told you to do.

At last, the selected contacts will be stored into the specified path.
