My contacts are not showing up on my new phone

Hi,


I recently switched over from the iPhone 8 to the XR. My last backup for the 8 was four days ago however, my contacts are not showing up on my new phone.

If you were syncing Contacts with iCloud, they won't be part of the backup. Check Settings/Your Name/iCloud to make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID and that Contacts syncing is on. Try Settings/Your Name/iCloud and slide off syncing. Wait a few minutes and then slide syncing on. Allow time for syncing to occur.

Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
