When I create a new contract from a recent phone call it only goes into “alll contacts”. however, when I sync my Deja office program, that grabs contact info that is in the “all iPhone “ list. Is there a way to when I add a contact for it to populate the “all iphone” list? Why are there 2 different ones. I want all my contacts to be on my iPhone. please help

When I create a new contact on iPhone with iOS 16 from the dial pad, the contact saves under my email list and not in the iCloud list. How do I change this? I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro Max to iOS 16.0 (20A362). In the upgrade I can see Lists for my contacts. In my Lists I show 10 contacts under Gmail, 133 contacts under iCloud, and 35 under my school email. I noticed that when I create a new contact from the dial keypad of the phone, the contact saves under the school email and not iCloud. How do I switch the contact to be in the iCloud list, and how do I get newly created contacts to save under iCloud list and not my school email list? Thank you in advance!

How to add contacts from recents? I've searched Google, but like it was with my old Android phone, the suggestions given for my new iPhone 12 don't work. I click "CONTACTS" with the Phone app. I click the + sign at the top right corner. Then I asked to add a lot of the person's info, but never am I given the opportunity from selecting a new number from a recent caller's number. Please tell me iPhones are NOT like the Android phones with many different versions of the Android software out there.

Not sure if you mean add addl phone #s & info to existing contacts but if so, open the contact, click edit (top right), click on green + sign to add #s, addrs, etc & if you’d like to label each with specific name or info, click on the blue fields then scroll down to ‘add custom label’ & label it however you want.

I keep couples’ info under a single contact, have both their phone #s & add a custom label w/each person’s name.
