Reports on Thursday said that people were stunned to see that none of their contacts are visible on the Google Contacts app either. <\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Some of them tried to restore the contacts manually or even re-sync them from their Gmail account to the device, but most of them were unable to get any positive result. Understandably, the affected users decided to contact Google hoping for some solution, since the Contacts app is developed by the company. <\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The fact that only Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phone users were facing this issue means the default Contacts app is at fault, and thankfully, Google was quick to notice the issue and offer a solution. <\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">As per the quote given out by Google <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2023\/06\/15\/google-contacts-missing-android-pixel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a>, the issue was with the Google Contacts app on Android which had a bug that resulted in the contacts not appearing on the phone for some users, and even on the web. Google claims the problem was linked to the \u2018data access\u2019 and it assured that the actual contact data was not affected by the bug. <\/p>\n<p><nonfly class=\"article_mad\" adunit=\"NW18_ENG_Desktop\/NW18_ENG_Tech\/NW18_ENG_Tech_AS\/NW18_ENG_TECH_AS_ROS_MID_728\" slotid=\"nw18-dynamic-div-8092495_3_6\" id=\"new_ad_4\"\/><videocarousel\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Google has been issuing new beta updates and QPR updates for Android 13 in the past few weeks, and the pace of the roll out could have affected one of these pre-loaded apps. <\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Google uses the stock Android interface with the Contacts app storing all the phone number, name and email ID of their friends, colleagues and more, which is basically all the data you need to connect with people. We are hoping the bug won\u2019t be a problem anymore, and other Android-powered devices don\u2019t face it in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1647035624 authorBox21 article_author\">\n<div class=\"jsx-1647035624 author_box\">\n<div class=\"author_box_inner\">\n<div class=\"img_box1 author_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2022\/02\/s-aadeetya.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=70&amp;height=70\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"text1 author_content\"><a class=\"smalldesc1 author_name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>S Aadeetya<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, stumbled his way into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media ho<!-- -->&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya.html\" class=\"read_more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/google-pixel-and-samsung-users-lost-their-phone-contacts-heres-what-happened-8092495.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Last Updated: June 16, 2023, 12:29 IST Samsung phones use the Google Contacts app by default The Contacts app on Android helps you store all the phone numbers, email ID and name of the contacts linked to your Google account.
