Problems syncing contacts to the icloud

I back my phone to the icloud but only 44 contacts of the 300 show up in the icloud. Any suggestions?

Have you allowed enough time for the sync to complete?


Try Settings/Your Name/iCloud and slide off Contacts 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?
