iCloud not syncing contacts from iPhone 8

This has happened before with my old iMac running "High Sierra" and it's still happening with my new M1 MAC mini and Monterey!


What gives. This shouldn't be (still) happening. I've turned OFF Contacts (and then ON) in iCloud Settings/ Syncing on both the iPhone 8 and my MAC. Still missing contacts.


The iPh is syncing fine with my new iPad mini, however.

Mac mini, macOS 12.2

OK, they are likely synced to an email account you use on both the iPhone and iPad. On the iPhone go to Settings > Mail > Accounts and see which email accounts say Contacts is on for it, too. Then on the Mac turn contacts on for that email account as well.
