How to upload new list of contacts on iCloud. Not to restore!

Hello sjapps1234,

We understand you'd like to know how to add new contacts on iCloud, rather than restoring previous contacts. We're happy to help!

In our iCloud User Guide there's a section on how to add a new contact on iCloud.com. You can also see steps on how to import a contact on iCloud.com.

We also have steps on how to create a group of contacts on iCloud.com.

If you want to use iCloud Contacts on your devices, see the steps on how to set up and use iCloud Contacts. When you're using iCloud Contacts with the same Apple ID on multiple devices, iCloud makes changes to all your devices when you add or update a contact.

If you'd prefer to use contacts from another account, see this link: Use other contact accounts on iPad

Best wishes!
