Set up and use iCloud Contacts

With iCloud, you can have your contacts in your pocket and on your desktop. When you add or update a contact, iCloud makes the change everywhere.

Set up iCloud Contacts

When you turn on iCloud Contacts, all of the information* stored on separate devices uploads to iCloud. If you turn off iCloud Contacts, your information won’t automatically move from iCloud back to your device.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
2. Turn on Contacts.
3. When you’re asked if you want to Merge or Cancel, tap Merge.

All of the information stored in Contacts uploads to iCloud.

On your Mac

1. From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID. If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier, you don’t need to click Apple ID.
2. Click iCloud.
3. Select Contacts.

All of the information* stored in Contacts uploads to iCloud.

* If you have contacts information stored On My Mac, that information will not automatically sync. In Contacts, drag a contact from On My Mac to All iCloud, or export your contacts as Vcards, then manually sync with the Finder.

On iCloud.com or iCloud for Windows

After you turn on iCloud Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, your contacts upload to iCloud. You can find and edit your contacts on iCloud.com or in iCloud for Windows. Any changes that you make automatically update on your other devices.

If you turn off iCloud Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, your contacts won’t delete from iCloud, they won’t update automatically, and any changes you make won’t update across your other devices.

Add Contacts from third-party accounts

If you store contacts in a third-party email service, you can add the email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Then, check that Contacts is enabled.

If you experience sync-related issues, disable the account.

Use the Finder or iTunes to sync Contacts

If you don’t want to manage your contacts with iCloud, or if you want to do a one-time sync, sync your Contacts manually with the Finder or iTunes.

When you sync with the Finder or iTunes, your information stores locally on your devices. There can be differences in information if you update one of your devices in between syncs. For example, if you delete contacts from your computer after syncing with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the next time you sync with your computer, those contacts will delete from your iOS or iPadOS device, too.

If you have trouble setting up iCloud Contacts

• Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS and iPadOS, and your Mac to the latest version of macOS.
• Make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
• Set up iCloud on all of your devices. If you have a PC, download iCloud for Windows.
• Make sure that you’re connected to Wi-Fi or have an active Internet or cellular connection.
• Learn what to do if you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts.
• Get help if your iCloud Contacts won’t sync.

Ratings and Reviews

Glitches when adding or editing info

Every time I try to edit information, it glitches multiple times before it will save the information I have just entered. This is pretty annoying, especially when you are trying to quickly write down someone’s info. However, the concept is a good one

Classic failure for families!

ITools, dotMac, MobileMe…if you recognize these names chances are you raised an Apple family and now you’ve tried to figure out Family Sharing since independent Apple IDs are the only way Apple wants you to live in their universe. So what? Ever try sharing the family contacts with your partner? It does not work. I’m not talking about sending back and forth with AirPlay or similar. I’m talking about maintaining one synced database. OK, fine, give us the ability to have private lists but like calendars, allow the head of family sharing to share this database! Don’t give me “privacy” as the reason why. I can share calendars in our iCloud family space and load anything I want into an event so protection of birthdays, addresses, phone numbers, etc. in a Contact is not the reason to NOT provide Family Sharing! Get with it Apple. This is 2021 after all.

Really, no developer response? Shows you just how much Apple *really* cares about you versus what *they* want to do. At least the latest MacBook Pros brought back common ports, maybe there is a shred of hope the software teams care, too.

OR, simply tell me how to share Contacts in a Family Sharing environment!!

Missing basic functionality.

This contacts app is usable if you only use your phone for personal use. Wait, actually it’s still mediocre even for personal use.

Its really missing the basic ability to group contacts. I should be able to create a contact group for family, for close friends, and I should be able to have contacts from my work account automatically get put into a work group. This functionality has been missing for a while, but it’s really become a headache when it comes to setting up focus modes, since I need to select individual contacts and then remember to add new ones to each focus mode. MacOS contacts app has the ability to group contacts, why is this missing on my iOS devices?
