2. On your current iPhone, let’s make sure your contacts are synced with iCloud.

If it’s iCloud, go to “Settings” -> “iCloud” and make sure the name and ID displayed on the top are yours.

Then make sure the “Contacts” option is checked.

Now, tap on “Backup” and select “Backup now”. iPhone will now start backing iCloud content to the web. This might take a while.

Now, when you’re setting up a new phone, from the “Apps and Data” section, select “Restore from iCloud Backup”. Log in with your iCloud ID and wait while the data restore begins. Once it’s done, all your contacts show be there.

3.Google Sync

If you continue to use Google to sync your contacts, here’s how to get them on your new iPhone.

First, make sure that Google sync for contacts is enabled on your current iPhone.

Go to “Settings” -> “Contacts” -> “Accounts” -> “Gmail” and make sure “Contacts” is enabled. Make sure there’s internet connection so contacts can be synced to Google.

Then, on your new iPhone, open “Settings”, select “Contacts” -> “Accounts”, and tap on “Add Accounts”.

Select Google from the list log in and then make sure “Contacts” is selected before tapping “Save”. All the contacts that are in your Google account will show up directly on your new iPhone.
