iPhone default account for Contacts

On my iPhone (11.2.5), when I tap Settings > Contacts I do not see 'default account'. Why is this?

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2.5

You won't have this option if you only have one account for contacts. Go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords and review which ones have Contacts enabled. Once you have enabled Contacts for two or more accounts, the setting for a default account will show up in Contacts.
