How do you add contact app?

I am trying to transfer my contacts. When I long on to my iCloud the contact app is missing so I am not able to do the complete transfer. How do I add the contact app to my iCloud page?

Hello GleasonChristine,


Which device are you using iCloud Contacts on?


There is some helpful info on setting up iCloud Contacts on all devices here: Set up and use iCloud Contacts - Apple Support


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud. 
2. Turn on Contacts.
3. When you're asked if you want to Merge or Cancel, tap Merge.
All of the information stored in Contacts uploads to iCloud.

On your Mac
1. From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID. If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier, you don’t need to click Apple ID. 
2. Click iCloud.
3. Select Contacts.
All of the information* stored in Contacts uploads to iCloud.
* If you have contacts information stored On My Mac, that information will not automatically sync. In Contacts, drag a contact from On My Mac to All iCloud, or export your contacts as Vcards, then manually sync with the Finder. 

On iCloud.com or iCloud for Windows
After you turn on iCloud Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, your contacts upload to iCloud. You can find and edit your contacts on iCloud.com or in iCloud for Windows. Any changes that you make automatically update on your other devices.
If you turn off iCloud Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, your contacts won't delete from iCloud, they won't update automatically, and any changes you make won't update across your other devices.


If you have issues setting it up on a device you may try these suggestions from the above link:


•Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS and iPadOS, and your Mac to the latest version of macOS.
•Make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
Set up iCloud on all of your devices. If you have a PC, download iCloud for Windows.
•Make sure that you're connected to Wi-Fi or have an active Internet or cellular connection.
•Learn what to do if you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts.
•Get help if your iCloud Contacts won't sync


Cheers.
