How can I select where to save contacts with dual SIM on my iPhone?

I am using dualsim, one bussines and second personal. I want to choose where the contact will be saved in Contact app? For example for bussines line to iCloud and for personal line to gmail. How is it possible?

Not possible. It will only save to the default Contacts account that you have chosen.


What is your default Contacts account?



Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other



If you have a corporate email account added through a profile on your device, please check with your organization's system administrator.




  1. Is this your corporate/organization/enterprise/School Management iPhone? Then please contact the system administrator of your corporate//organisation/enterprise/School Management
  2. If it is your device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organization/enterprise/School Management?
    1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
    2. Please contact the system administrator of the organization who provided the profile to you
