If you want to transfer your contacts to a new iPhone or iPad, you can synchronize them through a linked account. This allows you to access your saved contacts on other devices where you use the same account. Your account must support contact synchronization, and your contacts must be stored in that account. You can set up synchronization in just a few steps.
Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone or iPad. Look for the "Contacts" or "Accounts" settings. Depending on your software version, you can find these directly in Settings or under "Apps".
Open the account management settings and select the account you want to use to synchronize your contacts, such as your iCloud or Google account. If the account you want to use has not been set up yet, you can add it using the corresponding option.
Enable the "Contacts" option for the selected account. This allows the contacts stored in that account to synchronize with your iPhone or iPad. Make sure your device is connected to the internet.
Sign in to the same account on your new iPhone or iPad and enable contact synchronization there as well. Then open the "Contacts" app and check whether your contacts appear. Depending on your internet connection and the number of contacts, synchronization may take some time.
Important: Enabling contact synchronization does not automatically transfer all contacts that are stored exclusively on your device or in another account. To make these contacts available on your new device, you must first transfer them to the account you want to use. Therefore, before switching devices, check that all your important contacts are stored in your account.
