It is possible to confirm whether a Phone Number/Email is saved in an locked iPhone (after first unlock) by using Spotlight Search.

Prerequisites

Physical access to a locked iPhone with default configuration after first unlock (incl. Lockdown Mode (https://support.apple.com/en-us/105120)).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use Spotlight Search to search for a Phone Number (with proper country coding e.g., +36 for Hungary)/Email Address.
  2. If the Phone Number/Email Address is in the Contact List, there will be no option to Call/Email them (only search in safari shows up).
