How to Retrieve Deleted Phone Numbers from your Smartphones

When a contact is deleted, it goes directly to the recycle bin, which the user can easily recover. For this, log in to your Gmail account and go to the ‘Contacts’ section here. Now touch the menu on the left and select the ‘More’ option.

Then select the ‘Undo Changes’ section. In the ‘Undo Changes’ section, you will get the option to recover the recently deleted phone number. Then select the ‘Restore’ option. By doing this, you will be able to recover the deleted contact.
