Some on my contacts did not transfer to my new iPhone
Some on my contacts did not transfer to my new iPhone. Why? How can I make sure I have all of my contacts before I wipe my old phone?

It sounds like some of your contacts may have been housed in a different account. If you go to your contacts, check in the upper left corner and see if you have groups, and what they may be. Contacts could be in iCloud, could be in an email account such as Google or a work email Exchange account. You need to get all the accounts set. In the new iPhone, if you have other accounts that have Contacts setup, just go to those accounts and turn them on.

On my old phone I have ICLOUD group. There are two entries under it. They are All iCloud and card and they both are checked. I do not have those groups on my new iPhone. How do I get them added?
ChrisJ4203, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to go to iCloud settings and turn on Contacts on the new phone and they seem to be coming down.
You're welcome.
