Hey there valfromnewyork,


You'll want to use the steps below to help with changing the default contact list on your iPhone:


If you set up multiple accounts in the Contacts app, you can choose a default account to add new contacts to:
1. Go to Settings > Contacts > Default Account.
2. Choose an account.

Continue here for more info: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone or iPad


Take care!
