How do I transfer all contacts to new phone

Hello rjfairbairn,

If you want to transfer information from your old device to your new one, please check out the information and suggestions in the following link, which will help guide you through that process: Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad

Before you begin

* If you have an Apple Watch and you got a new iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch from your previous iPhone before you set up your new device. Unpairing automatically backs up your Apple Watch so you can restore it after you pair with a new iPhone. 

* Make sure that you have a backup of your device.

* Have your Apple ID and password ready.

* Transfer your SIM card from your iPhone, iPad, or eSIM. If your new device needs a different SIM card than what you have, contact your carrier.

* Make sure that you have a backup of your previous device. If you purchased a new iPhone or iPad, you may be eligible for temporary iCloud storage.

If you use iCloud Contacts, and you want to sync your contacts and keep them updated on all of your devices, please check out this link, which outlines the process to do that: Set up iCloud for Contacts on all your devices

Set up iCloud for Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

2. Do one of the following:

* iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Tap Show All, then turn on Contacts.

* iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Turn on Contacts.

3. To view contacts stored in iCloud, open the Contacts app, then do one of the following:

* If you have more than one source of contacts: Tap Groups. Below iCloud, select All Contacts or another group.

* If you don’t have multiple contacts sources: All the contacts you see are stored in iCloud.

For more information on how to use Contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or to use iCloud contacts to manage who your children can communicate with on their Apple devices, see any of the following:

* iPhone User Guide: Add and use contact information on iPhone or Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPhone

* iPad User Guide: Add and use contact information on iPad or Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPad

* iPod touch User Guide (iOS 15 or earlier): Add and use contact information on iPod touch or Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPod touch

Thanks!
