The issue is what you are presented to look at and why - NOT how to figure it out all the time. I know contacts are saved on the phone AND iCloud. What am I looking at and why are there two titles if there isn't a reason for having two of them?
.
As I said, I can Select the available iCloud option, close then reopen the app and it shows 'Contacts' at the top.
Contacts are contacts. iCloud also has other data that I have on the phone, so it is technically a poor choice for a title and not user friendly as you can plainly see from questions about it.
If people can't figure it out from what is presented, it is very poor software design -- because it CAN be done so it DOES work that way.
There are so many other 'device' problems we must fight with on a daily basis, this is just another of dozens that are clearly very poorly thought out and clearly user hostile. Apple completely lost the concept of user friendliness.
We're forced to have an iCloud account smaller than the phone's memory and suffer from constant badgering that iCloud it running out of space. . .

This is a growing problem. I've been in software development long enough to know that Web page usability has been in decline for quite a while and we have medical software already making mistakes for us.
.
With the large amount of memory and the processing speed we now have, if you can't figure something it should grab you by the throat, slap you around and push the buttons for you. . .
When I started, we would have killed for this kind of technology.
It's not your fault, but _IS_ poor design, if you can even call it design.
I'm sorry, but when you spend a career dedicated to the highest quality, then have to deal with this, it is frustrating.
