How to Backup Contacts on iPhone via iCloud

When it comes to backing up iPhone contacts with iCloud, you have two choices. One is creating a full backup of your iPhone with an iCloud account, and the other is syncing only iPhone contacts to the iCloud server. The detailed steps to backup iPhone contacts to iCloud are as below.

Creating a Full Backup of Your iPhone with iCloud

Unlike iTunes, backing up iPhone to iCloud is backing up your iPhone contacts in Apple’s cloud server instead of keeping them on a computer hard drive. To backup your iPhone to iCloud, you just need to log into iCloud on your iPhone with simple steps:

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Tap on your Apple ID’s part > Select iCloud > Select iCloud Backup > Tap on it to turn it on if it is closed > Click Back Up Now. Then your contacts on iPhone will be backed up to the iCloud server as well as other iPhone content.

Syncing Contacts to iCloud with Wi-Fi

Syncing iPhone contacts using iCloud means all your iPhone contacts will be backed up to an iCloud server, and all the contacts on your different devices logged in the same Apple ID will be merged in one iCloud and synced to all your iDevice. At the same time, the contacts on other iDevices will also come to your iPhone. Therefore, if you want to keep your contacts independent, and don’t merge with other iDevices’, you need to log in to a different Apple ID on your iPhone.

To back up iPhone contacts by syncing to iCloud, you just need to ensure your iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and then perform the steps below on your iPhone:

Go to Settings > Click on your Apple ID’s part > Select iCloud > Tap on Contacts to turn it on > Then wait for your iPhone contacts backed up to iCloud.

Sync iPhone Contacts to iCloud

This method will back up all your iPhone contents to iCloud. And the only way for you to get backed up contacts to your iPhone is by restoring your device with this iCloud backup, during this process, the contents in the backup will replace the existing data and files on your iPhone.
