If you use Android devices and Google services, this is simple: just use Google Contacts. It’s integrated into everything Google, and works like a charm. This is also ideal if you use a mix of Android and iOS devices, since Google Contacts can sync with pretty much any platform.

If, however, you use exclusively Apple devices, you have a choice: use Apple’s iCloud, or use Google Contacts. iCloud is designed to work seamlessly with iOS devices, and if you use iCloud or Apple’s Mail app everywhere for your email, it’s the obvious choice. but if you have an iPhone and/or iPad and use Gmail on the web for your email, it may still be a good idea to use Google Contacts—that way, your contacts are synced between your phones, tablets, and your web-based email.

Got all that? Alright, here’s how to sync your contacts with either service.

How to Sync your Contacts with iCloud on the iPhone

To sync your contacts with iCloud, head into the Settings menu on your iPhone, then head to Accounts & Passwords.

 

 

Open the iCloud menu, then make sure Contacts is toggled to on. (If you don’t have an iCloud account, you’ll have to tap “Add Account” first—but most users will probably already have an iCloud account set up.)

 

 

 

That’s all there is to it. If you log into iCloud on your other devices and repeat the same process, your contacts should always stay in sync.
