CardDAV message with Contacts updates

Hello,


two questions actually.


  1. every time I update my contacts, I get an error message that pops up about Google CardDAV Incorrect password. Are my Google contacts and the Contacts on my iPhone separate? Eek. I followed an online suggestion on going to settings and under mail, contacts, etc. “adding account” but didn’t know what to enter as the Server.

who can advise?


I just want to make sure that my contacts are backed up. And is there a way to share/merge Google contacts and iphone app contacts?

iPhone 13 Mini

Re backing up iPhone data ...

is always wise to have a complete back-up of all the data on your iPhone (eg: on a computer / external drive etc)

that way, if anything is accidentally deleted or missing, it can be recovered / restored.
