Sync contacts between my devices

I have two iPhones (iPhone 11 Pro Max and XR), both on the same apple account and always connected to same wifi internet.

If I add new contact on the 11 Pro Max, it will NOT automatically sync the contact to the XR, but

if I add new contact on the XR, it will automatically sync it to the 11 Pro Max.

I think it should be a two-way; either of them can sync to each other at any time?

Can anyone help to resolve this?

See if "All iCloud" is Clicked in Contacts App:

On both iPhones, you need to select "All Contacts". So, see if that is clicked.

To Do So...

  1. Go to: Contacts app
  2. Tap: Groups (Top-Left)
  3. Tap: on "All iCloud" so it is checked (Top-Right)
