Contacts not Syncing iOS 11.1 iPhone & iPad Pro

I recently got an iPad Pro and I have an iPhone 6. Both are on iOS 11.1 and no matter what trick from these forums I’ve tried, I cannot get the contacts from my iPhone to sync with my iPad. I have turned off the iCloud. Signed out and back in with my Apple ID. I have done a hard reboot on the iPad. I would really love not to have to enter each contact by hand. Any help?

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.1, iPhone 6 also on iOS 11.1

Hi kcalvarado,

If you do not have any other accounts set up to sync your contacts you may not see the word Groups on the upper left corner of your Contacts app. Do your contacts from your iPhone show up on iCloud.com ? If so, make sure that both your iPhone and iPad are signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID and are connected to a good known Wi-Fi network. If you still need help after completing all the steps from the above mentioned article then you may need to contact Apple Support .

Kind Regards.

kcalvarado,

That is very helpful information and would explain why the contacts are not showing up on your iPad. In order for your contacts from your iPhone to sync to your iPad the setting under iCloud for Contacts on your iPhone must be turned on. Make sure all the steps from the following article have been completed in their entirety:

Keep your contacts up to date on all of your devices with iCloud - Apple Support

Let us know how it goes.
