Contacts that sync on iCloud and not Google

Good day community,


when i save a new contact on my phone. It’s synced to my iCloud immediately. When I check my Google contacts the save number does not appear. The number of contacts on iCloud and Google do not match at all.

It depends on what have you set as default Contacts Account, refer to the 2 frame GIF below.


Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contact Account? Decides which account is used by you to store new contacts.
