Contacts Not Syncing

My Contacts details on my MacBook Pro are sync'd with my iCloud Contacts.

However I cannot sync the Contacts on my iPhone with my MacBook Pro.

So my Contacts list on my computer and Cloud is different from my Contacts list on my iPhone.

Can anyone help solve this problem?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.12

Hello nickfromsingapore.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If I'm understanding correctly, your iCloud contacts are syncing properly with your MacBook Pro, however they are not syncing with your iPhone. I will be glad to assist.


I would recommend checking the iCloud contacts settings on your iPhone.


Please see below from the following resource:


Keep your contacts up to date on all of your devices with iCloud



"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."



Then review the information in the following article:


If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync



Cheers.
