Help How do I get data from Contacts Storage on Samsung Centura?

[SusieElder]

I seem to have cleared my contacts on my Samsung Centura, but it looks like there is data in the Contacts Storage app. I can't figure out how to access that data. Can someone please help?

If there are data in that app they should appear in your phonebook.

Maybe check that the problem isn't just that your phonebook isn't displaying the data. There are options to only display certain groups of contacts, so if you inadvertently set it to only display an empty category (e.g. just phone contacts when all of yours are stored as Google contacts) then the phonebook will appear to be empty. I don't know the Samsung phonebook, but you can usually select which contacts to display when in the main phonebook viewing tab of the contacts app.

Thanks for the reply. The scenario you mention is not the case, the contacts were all gone except one for some reason. There are two apps, one is "contacts" and one is "contacts storage", I don't know how to see what is stored. I have added back in those I could but would be nice to know how to access the storage.

Unless Samsung are difference from other manufacturers, "Contacts" is just an entry point for the "Phone" app that open it on the phonebook screen. "Contacts Storage" is the app that actually stores the contacts on the phone, and handles the syncing.
