Sharing contacts

Hi,

I have 2 separate phones on 2 separate Apple IDs. They are on family sharing. Is there a way to bulk share contacts or merge the 2 contacts lists together?

share Contacts between 2 iPhones and keep them synced I apologize for asking a question that's been asked many times previously, but every question has a slightly different flavor. I have an iPhone X running iOS 14.8 and my wife has an iPhone SE running iOS 14.4.2. We each use our own AppleID on our phones, but we'd like to share the same Contacts list. I am the organizer and have Family Sharing enabled for my wife, and you'd think that Contacts would be an option that a lot of families would like to share, but apparently Apple software engineers don't agree and didn't make that an option. If I understand correctly, in iOS 14, two different AppleIDs cannot share the same Contacts. You can copy the entire list of contacts between the two iPhones, but if any changes are made on one device, those changes will not be reflected on the other device. In iOS 14 and 15, is this still correct? Any workaround? Thanks.

Yes. Add the email account that has the contacts.

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
