Contacts icon on home

Since switching from Iphone 4 to 5, can only see contacts by first opening phone app on dock. How can I get it back on home screen? (and keep in phone too)

By default, it's in the Utilities folder. Once you find it, tap and hold it until the icon starts to wiggle. Drag it to where ever you  would like it. Note that you can also access contacts through the Phone app.
from ktpug: THis is the answer that helped me, found on a related post- but I do not know how to give points for this...

  • I want a contact icon on home screen

    Just got my first iPhone, model 5.  Would like to have a Contacts icon displayed on the home screen so I can get there with one touch.  I realize I can get to contacts through the phone icon but would prefer to have a straight shot to Contacts. Thanks!

    You can also try going to the search screen and typing in contacts. If it is in a folder, it will display the name of the folder on the right side, as in this example. The folder name is circled in red.

    I can't find the contacts icon... How can you add this to the home screen

    Every iPod touch has a contacts icon. It might be hiding. You can try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Somehow My Contacts Icon got dragged in to the Newsstand Icon, and I can't drag my contacts icon out to have on my home screen like normal

    Somehow My Contacts Icon got dragged in to the Newsstand Icon, and I can't drag my contacts icon out to have it on my home screen like normal, I can't delete it from the newsstand either. Please help!

    It was only happening to that icon.  I figured it out though.  All I had to do was turn off my phone and turn it back on and it was out of the newsstand icon when I turned it back on.  Thanks for your help though!

  • How can I add an icon for a contact to the home screen?

    New to iPhone and can't find a way to add a shortcut/icon for an individual contact to the home screen. I have looked in the user's guide and searched the web but no luck other than suggestions to download some type of app. This function has been available on two different Android phones I've used the past several years. Surely the iPhone has this capability???

    That is not a standard feature on the iPhone. There are many features available on one and not the other.

  • My grandson played with my 4th generation iPod touch and the phone icon and contacts icon are gone. I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout"  with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. Help?

I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout"  with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. I can get to my apps through the search screen but no icons.Help?

    Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.
    Read this for doing a search:

  • I lost my Contacts icon, how do I get it back?

    While I was dragging the Contacts icon out of the folder that it initially comes in, it exapanded really quickly and I accidentally dropped it over the Phone icon.
    When I search for it, it still shows up and I still have all my contacts, but I can't figure out how to make the icon reappear.
    Sorry if this it is common knowledge on how to fix this. I'm a new iPhone user.
    Thanks!

    Settings > Reset > Reset home screen layout. Look for it.

  • Contacts Icon - iPod Touch 4th Gen

    OK, since the old man owns an iPad, I got picked to help my niece set up her new iPod Touch (4th gen). What planet is all this music coming from??
    Anyway, we've done pretty well, but I cannot find the "Contacts" icon that I'm accustomed to seeing on my iPad. We were able to sync contacts from her PC's email address book, and I can find them by going into email or FaceTime, but that just seems awkward. Since it is new, she only has two pages of icons/apps, so I'm sure it's not there. I tried resetting the Home Pay layout from within Settings, but that didn't fix the problem. Am I missing something here? Thanks for your help.

    It should be in the Utilities folder. You can also use the Spotlight search to find it.

  • The contacts icon was deleted from my iPhone 5.  How do I get it back?

    My granddaughter played with my phone and deleted the Contacts icon. The information is still on the phone under Phone.  How do I add the icon back?

    Well, it's impossible to delete Apple's Contact app. Swipe the home screen to the right and type in a search bar for 'CONTACTS' and it should find the app. She may have put it into a folder or it's on page 9/screen. It's there, you may need to do a little searching and that may take time on your part.
    (Apple apps can't be deleted.)

  • I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • No contacts icon on screen

    Just purchased a new iPod Touch, came without a Contacts icon, loaded all my Apple date from the Cloud, no Contacts icon came over. Help! Thank you!

    It may have been moved to another page or folder of Apps. From the iPod's home screen, swipe to the right and do a Spotlight search for it.

    Did you do what was recommend to you on your other post. No need to double post.
    try swiping your home screen to to the left or right and see if you can find it on other screens.

  • I reset my iPhone and lost my contacts icon

    I had some sync issues after adding an iPad to my Macbook Pro and iPhone system. I chose (unwisely it appears) to "restore" my iPhone. In the process, I somehow lost my Address Book icon. The contacts are still there if I go in through the phone icon contacts, but not as a standalone icon. I can figure out how to get it back. Anyone know?

    I assume by "address book icon" you mean the Contacts app.  You can't delete this because it's part of the iOS.  Resetting the home screen layout should have restored you home screen to it's default, including the Contacts icon.  If you're saying this didn't work then I'm not sure what's going on.  You could always try resetting the phone to see if that helps: hold the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

  • Lost my contacts icon

    I was trying to rearrange my icons and accidentally lost my contacts icon.  When I search, it comes up but I can't tell where it is or how to get it back on my home screen.  (I'm running iOS 7.1.2 on a new iPhone 5.) 

    Hi there Merry48,
    The first thing you may want to try is resetting the Home sceen layout. This will return the built-in apps to their original layout on the Home screen and can be found under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. If the issue persists, then you may need to take a look at the the restriction settings on your device. The article below has more information.

    Get help
    If your iOS device is missing a particular application or a certain feature isn't available, make sure that Restrictions are off. Symptoms can include:
    App missing from the Home screen (such as Safari, Camera, or FaceTime)
    Feature or service unavailable (such as Siri or Location Services)
    Setting missing or dimmed (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
    Learn how to use Restrictions (or parental controls) in iTunes and how to prevent In-App Purchases.
