After updating my iPhone 6s+ to iOS 10 last evening, something strange has happened.
I have lost almost all contacts. I cannot see them under my phone book. However, If I have a conversation with them via iMessage, or WhatsApp, I copy that number, paste it on dial screen and it picks the contact name up.
After making the call, If i search for the same person in contacts, it does not show.
Probably sync issue? I have checked all accounts that had contacts and all settings are okay.

• Lauch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

How to fix:
If "Hey Siri" doesn't work. Or Siri isn't available, or doesn't understand or respond to questions
• Go to Settings > Siri and make sure that "Hey Siri" is on.
• Make sure that your device is face up. Placing your device face down disables "Hey Siri."
• If you have an iPhone 6 or earlier, most iPads, or an iPod touch, you need to plug your device into power to use "Hey Siri." If you have an iPhone 6s and later, or an iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you don't need to plug your device into power.
• Make sure that your iOS device has an Internet connection through Wi-Fi or cellular data.
• Turn "Hey Siri" off and back on again.
If Siri can’t hear you, make sure that the microphone near the iSight camera—on the top, back corner of your iPhone—and the receiver isn’t blocked or covered.
• Unplug any accessory plugged into the headset jack.
• Avoid blocking the microphone and iSight mic with your fingers while holding the device or recording video.
• Remove screen protectors, films, or cases that cover the microphone, iSight mic, or iPhone receiver.
• Clear any debris from the microphones or iPhone receiver. Refer to the user guide for your device on microphone locations.
• Restart your device.
• If you've tried these steps and people still can't hear you on phone or FaceTime calls or Siri doesn’t hear your requests, contact Apple Support.
