I backed up my iPhone 7 to iCloud so I could to access my Contacts on my new iPad Pro. I could not see all my contacts on the iPad Pro after. I was missing the “All iPhone” contacts. How do I load all 290 “All iPhone” contacts (see in Groups on my iPhone) to my iCloud contacts before the backup? Thank you!
iPhone 7, iOS 11.3
Thank you! That was a quick and easy fix. I made a slight modification to the instuctions from your link above:
On your iPhone:
All of the information stored in Contacts uploads to iCloud.
Backing up your iPhone to iCloud does not move your contacts to iCloud, it just puts them as part of the iPhone backup. If you wish to save those contacts to iCloud, you are going to have to move them to iCloud. I've always had my contacts in iCloud, so I've not had to deal with moving a group of contacts from the phone as an additional group in iCloud. I'm looking for additional information now.
Like you and as the support article suggests, I put ALL my contacts in the cloud, then you never have to worry about them not being on all your devices. And you're welcome!
Thanks for that rb. 🙂
