I tried to add a group to my contacts following directions online. I went to iCloud in settings and tried to select the contact button, to no avail. There was not a + sign on that screen to make a choice. It used to be so simple to do before all the many updates. Appreciate any help you can give me.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.3.1

I tried iCloud.com and it asks if I want to sign up for iCloud.
It doesn't ask if you want to sign up for iCloud,
Just sign in with your AppleID.
Jo,
You only have those three choices because you are attempting to access iCloud.com using a mobile device. The image which I posted is only available using a computer with a compatible web browser, or a mobile device with a larger screen size.
You can force the mobile device to use the desktop site, but it is not worth trying on an iPhone screen. I tried the Desktop Option on my iPad, and the group option is visible on an iPad screen. To access a Desktop Site using a mobile browser, you can touch and hold the reload arrow in the URL field which will present "Request Desktop Site" for selection.

Doesn't work on the iPhone 6.
The screen is still to large and won't resize small enough or allow you to scroll to get to where you need to be.

I may not have used the same words, but I attempted to make the same point. 😁

I tried iCloud.com and it asks if I want to sign up for iCloud. I tried iCloud settings to see if contacts was green. It was. Tried clicking that button, but nothing happened. Hope you can help me.
Jo,
It's there at the bottom left of iCloud Contacts: icloud.com
Hi Chico Jo,
If you sign in iCloud.com from your macOS (Mac computer), simply go to "Contact"
then at the bottom of the left column, there is a "+" sign. You can add new group from there.
When I enter icloud.com, it gives me 3 choices:
Set up iCloud on this device
Open Find My iPhone
Open Find My Friends
Thank you so much. It worked. I was trying to do everything on my iPhone. Really appreciate your help.
I was confirming your post.
