Hi
Since some time new contacts have been stored on my iPhone rather than in iCloud. The iCloud sync option in Settings is enabled.
This happens when I store phone numbers from apps such as Messages or Safari.
Is there any way to force my iPhone to store new contacts in iCloud automatically?
iPhone 15, iOS 26.3.
The iPhone has been restarted.
Kind regards,
Anders
Go to Settings/Apps/Contacts, scroll to the bottom and change Default Account to iCloud.
Go to Settings/Apps/Contacts, scroll to the bottom and change Default Account to iCloud.
In Settings/Apps/Contacts tap Accounts, and then on iCloud, and turn on the switch for Contacts. Or for a different email server if you prefer.
Hi Lawrence
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately there is no such option. It says “Import SIM Contacts” on the bottom.
When I search for “Default account” there is a result in Apps>Contacts. When I press the result I come to Providers and the text “Enable applications to extend their functionality to add their own contacts.”
I don’t understand what to do. Can you help me any further?
Kind regards,
Anders
Good morning, Lawrence
Once again I thank you for your support. However, that option was already active.
Do you think that Apple scan this forum and might provide an answer?
