iPhone contacts not syncing to iCloud

Some contacts don't sync between my iPhone and other devices. I think it's because some contacts are locally on my iPhone in "All Contacts" (when in the contacts app on my iPhone), but not all of those are on my iCloud. How do I push over the locally stored iPhone contacts to iCloud?


I am logged into the same iCloud on all my devices. I just can't figure out how to push the locally stored iPhone contacts onto the cloud.

Hello davidmostovoy,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, your phone contacts aren't syncing to iCloud. We're here to help!


"Things to check first

  1. Check the system status of iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders for services outages or connection issues.
  2. If a reminder isn't showing up on some of your devices, make sure that your iPhone and iPad have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or that your Mac has the latest version of macOS.
  3. Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices. Then, check that you turned on Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders in your iCloud settings.
  4. Check that the date and time settings on your device are correct for your current location."
