Hey there just_mariiia,


We'd like to confirm more details to better understand what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. You mentioned that you're seeing all of your contacts if you check from the iCloud website, but not all of those show on your iPhone. Is iCloud Contacts enabled in your iPhone settings?
  2. What exactly occurs when you do create a new contact from your iPhone? Does the new contact show on the iCloud website? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand what's happening.
  3. When did these issues start to occur?
  4. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
  5. We see you have iOS 16 installed, but the latest version is iOS 16.3.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.


Cheers!
