Phone 4 iOS 7 is Contacts.app missing or just not included?
My wife has possibly inherited a neighbor's old iPhone 4 to use and we set it up by using her iPad Backup, also using iOS 7.1.2
There is no sign of the Contacts.app icon on the iPhone and I cannot find any confirmation as to weather it should be or not. Even searching the 'net for images and having a look I see no sign of the Contacts.app icon showing, yet some sites make mention of it.
I finally got her list of contacts to show via the Phone.app, but unfortunately hardly a single phone number was included which seems was a common problem when I do a web search on the problem.
Using the one and the method in the Phone.app is a PITA, and pretty pathetic for an iDevice that's supposed to work as a smartphone and not have a proper easy to use phonebook.
So can anyone confirm if there should be a working Contacts.app icon on the iPhone or do I need to do a whole new install and restore?
Or is it actually installed but hiding somewhere that I haven't found yet???
