In my iPhone 11 Pro, settings, Contacts, there are 3 accounts (iCloud, Gmail and M&C). There is no option to choose a Default Account. How do I retrieve the Default Account option to enable me to select the Default Account to store new phone numbers?
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15
Thank you Laurence, I now understand that the Default Account option is not shown because I turned off the Contacts in both the Gmail and iCloud accounts. Only M&C account is turned on, so maybe there is no need to choose a default account.
The problem I have is when someone new calls me and I use their number to Create New Contact on my iPhone, the new Contact is not shown on my Desktop. It is shown faded on my Contacts in my iPhone. However, when I create a new contact on my iPhone by going to Contacts and pressing + to create a new Contact, then I can see the new Contact shown on my Desktop. What do I need to do to be able to use a number of someone who called me to Create New Contact on my iPhone and desktop?

Go to Settings/Accounts. Default Account will be visible near the bottom of the display.
