Syncing contacts from iPhone SE (iOS 13) to PC

I have just acquired a new computer. I am unable to transfer all my contacts in my iPhone to my PC. I have tried iCloud, Facebook and one or two other ways - the best I have managed is a very truncated list (approx. 50 contacts). Can someone provide some advice so that I can get all my contacts onto my PC and have them syncing between the 2 devices please?

Cheers

Phil

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


Add the account in your PC that's it.

  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contacts Account?
  3. Which email account you are using to store Contacts?


  • See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account



  • Learn how to add an email account and make it default (Watch the GIF)
  • This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
