iPhone contacts not all syncing with gmail

Why don.t all of my iPhone contacts end up available to me in my Google email? I would really like to make it so that my contacts are merged, but when I look at my contacts folders on my iPhone 12Pro it shows Gmail contacts at 743 and iPhone contacts as 530. What the heck??? My OS is up to date

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18

Contacts from Gmail account Hi, may I know if anyone has a solution to sync'ing contacts from Gmail acc to iPhone X? I managed to create and uploaded a new list of additional 100 new contacts onto Gmail acc. However, they don't appear in my Contact List. I've tried Settings > Contacts > turned on under Gmail all the apps to be sync'd, Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes. Any help would be appreciated.

Contacts on iPhone Gmail keeps adding email contacts to my contacts list on my phone. I only want the contacts I put in manually. If I choose accounts on my phone and go to contacts and turn it off, ALL contacts vanish. How can I start over, deleting all the email addresses on my contacts list on my phone and just keeping the real contacts and their phone numbers? If there's no way to automatically do this, how can I save my real contacts so I will have them to refer to for the phone numbers in putting them back on manually?

Merge iPhone contacts on different accounts to iCloud New contacts on my iPhone are not syncing to my other apple devices (MacBook/iMac). I figured out that my Default Account on my iPhone in Setting > Contacts > Default Account was set to my gmail, not my iCloud. Now that it's set to iCloud, any new contacts I add are synced to my iMac/Macbook. However, there are hundreds of contacts on my iPhone which are associated to my gmail account, not iCloud. How do I do one of the two things? Sync all contacts on my iPhone to the iCloud Account (preferred method) Add gmail contact account to my iMac/Macbook

Go to Settings/Apps/Contacts, scroll to the bottom. Which Contacts account is selected as Default? This is where all new contacts will go.

Ok, it was set to Gmail, so if they automatically go to my gmail acct, then does that mean they are not also being saved to my phone contacts too? I am confused.
