Hi piyushgoyal,

I understand that you wish to have new contacts saved to your Google account on your iPhone. I know that it's important to have your information sync in a way that's best for you, so I'm happy to help.

To do this, you'll want to set your Google account as the default account for your contacts. Afterward, any newly created contacts will be saved there. While this article mentions iCloud, the steps are still applicable:

Get help using iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders - Apple Support

Set the default account for your contacts in iOS 8 or later:

Tap Settings > Contacts.

Tap Default Account.

Select the desired account.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
