I entered someone in my contacts but they do not show up in my list.

Question

They do show up when they call and text me. I cannot access the contact from my list even when I search for them and have turned on the function to show contacts from all sources. When I type in the number manually their name shows up. Since I cannot access the contact, I cannot delete them to try and re-enter them. The only solutions I have found to accessing them is to add them to my favorites from the recent phone calls list and to search for the text convo i have with them by swiping to the left. Is there another solution for this?

Hi Friend,
In Contacts, check if you have created Contact Groups before. To check this, a button Group will show on top left corner in Contacts. If you have this button, tap it and check if all groups are marked.
Check if Restrictions are turned off.
If your device is new, try to remember if you have imported your contacts from SIM Card. If not, go to Settings >> Email, Contacts, Calendars>> Import Contacts from SIM Card.
You said the contact are show up when they text you. So, tap in the contact message to see his/her message. Swipe to the top and tap "Contact". It will show you all the information saved in your device (name, phone number, email address, etc). So, your contact is really saved somewhere in your device. You also can edit this contact here, tapping Edit button.
Hope it helps
