**Turning on or off iCloud functions**, such as the Contacts app, might assist in pushing and retrieving contacts information from your iCloud account. Here's how you do it: \

1. Go to [Your Name]->**Settings**.
2. **Select iCloud** from the menu.
3. To turn it off, **go to Contacts** and press it.
4. **Restart your iPhone** if necessary.
5. **Return to Settings-> [Your Name]->iCloud** after that.
6. To reactivate it, **go to Contacts and press it.**

Check your phonebook or contacts list to determine if it's already loaded with all of your contacts information after restarting your iPhone.
