How to Export Contacts on iPhone 6 or 6s Plus

Fashion is always changing. Some people do not mind to spend their money that they saved for many years only to buy a new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s Plus just because their old iPhone did not support their confidence. If it happens to you, the first thing to do is to transfer the contact from your old iPhone to the new iPhone. You can use iCloud and iTunes to transfer your contacts. If the reason to export contact is that the initial setup went wrong, you need to transfer the contacts after you have setup the devices. Below are the tips and the methods on how to export contacts on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s Plus.

Three Methods to Export Contacts on iPhone 6

In case that you have all contacts stored safely in your iCloud account and then you come with the new iPhone 6 that you would not have synced the iCloud contacts yet, there are some steps you can follow to transfer the contacts on the new iPhone:

1. Go to Settings and choose iCloud
2. It is important to sign in to your iCloud account; Log in first to start.

1. Turn on your PC or Mac, and then Login to iCloud.com
2. Click Contacts
3. Click the Settings or the cog icon and then choose Select All
4. After that, click on the cog and then choose Export vCard

   What you need to do on your new iPhone:
6. Check the email for the vCard attachment
7. Download and then open the vCard.
8. Choose Import All from the top right

Now, your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus has all your contacts.
