Few days ago I saw that some contacs are deleted from my phone. I navigated to contacts recycle bin. I found bunch of contacts in trash which i never deleted. Again after 2 days i opened recycle bin and found some more contacts deleted. 

My contacts are getting deleted on their own. Is there a software bug or what? Did anyone else have this issue.

Please check your contacts trash too

I too had that problem. I found out it's the dual messenger that is messing up. Remove and clear all settings for dual messenger  and problem is gone.

Settings -> Advanced features -> Dual Messenger -> (Three dots at the top right corner) ->  Delete all my data

Dear Samsung member,

Greetings from Samsung customer support.

We acknowledge your query and apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and will surely assist you regarding the same and please follow the easy troubleshooting steps which might help to solve the issue.

We would like to inform you that please check if you have synced your data with your Gmail or Samsung account then you may retrieve your data. (Go to settings>>Accounts & backup>>Backup & restore>>Restore data)

Check the recyle-bin of your smartphone: Menu>>apps>>phone icon>>three vertical dots>>settings>>recycle-bin>>deleted contacts.

However, if data has been lost accidentally and you have not taken any backup then there is no way to retrieve your data. For the future we recommend you to take back up in the phone.

Install Smart Switch App from Samsung galaxy Store:

Import contacts:
App's screen>>contactS>>More (three dots)>>manage contacts>>import/export contacts>>import>>SIM card>>Select contacts, for this example tap on all>>done>>google account>>"Import".
Your contacts will be saved to your google account and saved to your phone the next time google is synced.
