Question

Do I need to merge Safari and my contacts with icloud?

When settling up Icloud on my iphone 5c the question comes up: Do you want to merge your Safari and Contacts to iCloud.

Can this be reversed later? What difference does it make?

Why does it give you the option of yes or no. Why does iCloud need to have my contacts?

Welcome to the Apple community.

It can only be reversed manually, i.e. By putting everything back one by one. However it's the only way to use iCloud and keep the contacts you already have on your device.

By putting your contacts into iCloud it allows you to share them amongst all your devices.

If you choose no to this option, then the contacts that are currently on your phone will stay on your phone only, and will not sync between all the devices.
