Enable Contacts in iCloud:

Was this synced wit iCloud? If not, then enable Contacts in iCloud, seeing if it all pops up

A. On an iPhone:

Log into iCloud on the new iPhone. Then, tap Contacts in iCloud settings, making it green.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top-Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)


and...


B. On a Mac:

If Contacts enabled in Apple ID on your Mac? If not, enable it.

  1. Go to: System Preferences
  2. Click: Apple ID
  3. Enable: Contacts (so that it has a check next to it).
