What is the easiest way to save a contact into Outlook (or Gmail) contacts on an iPhone?

Is there a quick way to save a phone number as an Outlook (or Gmail) contact on an iPhone?

I want to ensure I am only using one set of contacts. When I use the iPhone "save as contact" feature it saves the contact as an iCloud contact. I do not want a second contact database in iCloud.

Is there a way to only save contacts as Outlook (or Gmail) account contacts by default on an iPhone?

Thanks in advance!

NOTE: Creating an Outlook contact on an iPhone is quirky though. The iPhone contact data fields are not all named the same as in Outlook.

I have found it is best to only create Outlook Contacts in Outlook on a PC or Outlook on the Web.

Make the default Contact account Outlook.

Settings > Contact > Default Account > Select Outlook

That's it.
