“a few days ago, my iPhone 6S was stolen on a crowded subway; I reported the police as soon as I found my iPhone 6S was stolen, but three days has past still no news. I knew I may lose my iPhone 6s forever, so I just want to recover the contacts on my stolen iPhone 6S. Is there any way to quickly get back the contacts on my stolen iPhone?”
