Contacts don't match on phone and icloud

The Contacts on my iPhone 11 do not match up with my Contacts in my iCloud. I have more contacts on my iPhone than in the iCloud. It seems like my iPhone should automatically update my contacts in the iCloud?

Do you have contacts turned on for any other account on the iPhone? In other words, are you using contacts in Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc? If you go to Settings>Passwords & Accounts, do you see any other accounts there that have Contacts listed? If that is possible, you need to check Settings>Contacts and see what account is the default account. I'm guessing that some of the contacts on the iPhone are ones from another account.
