Sync Through iCloud:

Sign in to the same Apple ID on this iPhone and a device with these account. And then enable Contacts in iCloud Settings. Being synced, Contacts will be accessible between both these devices iPhones.

On Both iPhones:

  1. Click: Settings
  2. Tap: your Name (top item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)

"I’ve updated to ios15 and have been losing contacts randomly. I had a back up and had to reset my phone to factory settings yesterday after that it was fine. This morning randomly started losing my contacts again."
