icloud contacts will NOT sync to google contacts

I've followed the steps on iPhone:

> contacts

> accounts

> choose gmail account

> flip Contacts switch over to right to sync

Done


"Use SSL" is flipped on


Nothing happens. Have 3 gmail accounts on the iphone. Only thing that syncs is Mail.


IphoneX IOS 16.3.1

Why? Is this a server problem ? Thx

Hello NoCoincidence,


Those particular steps would help with syncing the Google contacts to the iPhone that the switch is enabled on. This page can help to provide a note for that: Use other contact accounts on iPhone - Apple Support


If you'd like to export a copy of your iCloud Contacts for use with other services you may find steps here for that process: Import or export a vCard in Contacts on iCloud.com - Apple Support


Export a vCard
1. In Contacts on iCloud.com, select one or more contacts in the contacts list.
2. Click the Show Actions Menu pop-up button in the sidebar, then choose Export vCard.
If you select multiple contacts, Contacts exports a single vCard containing all of them.
Tip: You can export all your contacts as a single vCard and use it as a backup.


Cheers.
