Most operating systems always want your apps to have permission to access any data on your phone.
In my specific phone and operating system (LG Stylo 3), to access the permission I just locate the apps list in settings, click on the menu button, select configure apps, and the first available setting is app permissions.
There you can turn on any permissions that your contacts app may need to run properly.
To avoid these problems in the future, it is wise to Allow services that apps request access to. As long as you trust the application at least.

Click home button at bottom so you are at the home screen.
Press the middle circle button with six dots in it. Just above the home button.
Press settings
Press apps
Drag your finger from middle to the top until you see contacts
Press contacts
Press permissions
Look at the upper right of the screen, you will see a set of 3 dots in a line.
Press the 3 dot icon
Press all permissions
Press home and try to open contacts again it should work

It did not work for me to press home at the end, I had to back all the way out for it to take effect. Otherwise this solved my issue though.
thank you-worked well.
it didn't seem to work, it keeps telling me something about a system overlay
Thank you this worked for me!!!!
It turned out to be my dialer app. It wouldn't even open. Apparently some how I turned off the location and it has to be on just for me to use it.
thanks, you helped my mom whos terrible at electronics. thanks dude.

None of the above worked for me so I found a way through the mess on my own. I went to notifications and the 3dots reset app. Now I can make phone call the goggle way.

If you would go to Setting; Apps;
Contacts. Make sure all permission is granted. That should resolve the issue!
