Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Between 27" iMac OS 10.13.6 and iPhone 12pro OS 14.4.2 Tried turning off iCloud on iPhone, and many other things with no effect. Calendar sync IS working. Are there any known issues with High Sierra OS and my new iPhone 12pro????
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.13
Here is an odd discovery.....If I add a group to the contacts on my desktop and then delete it, the group will show up in my iPhone contacts as "untitled group" and will not delete. (knowing that contact groups cannot be deleted by an iPhone) So there seems to be SOME communication between the two.

Anything that is synchronizing from iCloud (or other cloud service) is not part of your backup. Your backup only contains what is stored locally on your phone, plus your settings, passwords, your iPhone screen layout and which apps to re-load from the backup, and email account information.
Contacts (iCloud or otherwise) are associated with an email account, and thus live in the cloud and only sync to your iPhone. The same would apply to photos, text messages, etc. if you've enabled those to sync with iCloud.
email is hosted with my webhost provider. Can you further explain how email service is connected to iPhone Contacts??
Updated to OS Big Sur and problem solved.
Did not want to do this to prevent loss of older apps..... but had no choice.

CONTACTS WILL NOT SYNC to iCloud
