Contacts synced with your Google account are the easiest data to recover: Google keeps a 30-day trash and can even undo changes to your entire contact list.
- 1Open contacts.google.com and sign in with your account.
- 2Click 'Trash' in the left menu, deleted contacts stay there for 30 days. Select and restore.
- 3For mass deletions, use Settings (gear) → 'Undo changes' and pick a moment before the loss.
- 4On the phone, confirm sync is on: Settings → Accounts → Google → Account sync → Contacts.
- 5Contacts saved only to SIM or phone storage aren't in Google, check Contacts app → Settings → Import.
Tip: Set new contacts to save to your Google account by default, never 'Phone only', it makes them recoverable and portable forever.
If the steps above didn't bring your files back, the data may still be recoverable at a lower level. EaseUS MobiSaver scans your Android storage directly and pulls back photos, messages and contacts that manual methods can't reach.
