Syncing contacts iOS 15.77 iPhone 7 Plus

I use my gmail account as my apple iCloud ID forever


I just switched to a new phone but I noticed I am missing alot of the contacts I still have on my old iPhone 7 Plus.


For some reason those contacts do not want to transfer from the iPhone to the gmail account, and thus they are not showing up on my new phone.


I have spent all morning trying just about every settings but nothing is working.


how do I force a sync to my gmail account with all those contacts stored on the iPhone.


the iPhone no longer connected to a network other than WIFI.


iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Solution, download an app called Google One, it will ask you if you wanted to upload all contacts on your iPhone and you can choose which gmail account, easy process via Google One.


i couldn’t figure out how to force the iPhone to sync / move all of its contacts to the default email account for the life of me.
