Iphone will not sync contacts to ICloud
I have tried all the recommended steps from Apple, turning contacts on in icloud on my macbook air and my iphone. I have tried recommendations from users in the community, signing out of icloud on my iphone and signing back in, toggling contact syncing on and off to force a sync etc. nothing is working. this is bothering me because I cant see the names on my contacts in the messages app on my macbook air. This shouldnt be a thing. Can anyone help?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13
