How to transfer all contacts from Gmail group to iCloud group on iPhone?

On iPhone I have some contacts in Gmail group, I need these contacts to appear also on my other iPhone, which has only one group, iCloud.


Solution 1:

You have two options here - you can either keep the contacts in Google Contacts and add your Google account to the other phone so they sync, or you can transfer the contacts to iCloud. If you're only using Apple devices, my recommendation would be to transfer them to iCloud, because it's simpler to manage and works well with Apple devices. If you own Windows or Android devices, keeping them in Google Contacts will allow you to access them on those devices as well.

Keep contacts in Google Account

To add your Google Account to the other phone:

  1. Open your iPhone or iPad's Settings app.
  2. Tap Accounts & Passwords and then Add Account and then Google.
  3. Enter your email and password.
  4. Tap Next.
  5. Switch "Contacts" on.
  6. At the top, tap Save.
  7. To start syncing, open your iPhone or iPad's Contacts app.
