In order for Contact Transfer to access your contacts, they must be stored in your iPhone's local storage. If your contacts are instead stored in iCloud or another cloud platform, you'll need to download them to your iPhone.

Method 3: iCloud

iCloud is a great way to sync data like Contacts and Calendars between all of your devices. This method is great for people who like to access the same data across all iMacs, MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and iPods they own, but for others who like more control over their data, Method 1 may be more suitable.

To use this method to sync contacts from iPhone, you'll need to be connected to Wi-Fi.

Let's see how to sync contacts from iPhone to computer..

  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud.
  2. Ensure that the 'Contacts' entry is toggled on (you may need to merge your iPhone contacts with any existing iCloud contacts).
  3. Next, log in to iCloud with your Apple ID from a browser.
  4. Click the 'Contacts' app icon.
    (If you don't need to save the contacts to your computer, you can skip the next steps).
  5. Click a contact, then do 'Ctrl+A' on your keyboard to select all.
  6. With all Contacts selected, click the cog icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  7. Hit 'Export vCard..' to save contacts directly to your computer

Method 4: Email

This method is great if you need to export only a couple of contacts here and there, but does not compare to TouchCopy and iCloud for bulk exports. You can export individual contacts from your iPhone via email.

In this way, you can quickly email a friend or colleague a contact's details, or even send the email to yourself so that you can access the contact from your computer. Here's how:

  1. Open the Contacts app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap a Contact you wish to send.
  3. Scroll down and tap 'Share Contact'.
  4. Choose 'Mail'.
  5. Compose your email and Send!

Your contact will be sent as an attachment, in vCard (.vcf) format, with the email.

Method 5: How to Export iPhone Contacts via Airdrop

Airdrop is Apple's amazing way to quickly transfer files between iPhone and Mac. Connect your iPhone and Mac to the same Wi-Fi network, then simply choose a file and share it via Airdrop.

If you need to export a long list of contacts, consider a different method, as you can only Airdrop 1 file at a time. As such, it can be a very long and tedious job to transfer your entire contact book 1-by-1.

  4. Select a contact you want to transfer, then tap 'Share Contact'.
