Enable Contacts in iCloud:

Once Contacts is is enabled on iCloud, then all would be uploaded to iCloud, and therefore resync.


On an iPhone and iPad:

Log into iCloud on the new iPhone. Then, tap Contacts in iCloud settings, making it green.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top-Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
