The truth is that the subject of contacts is always an issue that drives us to the head, because whenever we change terminals, either we don't know how to import these contacts or we lose them directly and we have to add one by one, something that can take us hours and hours, in addition to the fact that we will lose some contact along the way.

On iPhone we have the option to save our contacts in iCloud , an option that we recommend, since we will have our contacts in the cloud, without worrying about losing them or not.

HOW TO IMPORT CONTACTS FROM SIM CARD TO IPHONE

As always when we are going to modify something on our apple device, what we have to do is enter its settings. Once inside, we must look for the "Mail, contacts" tab. So we click on this tab

Inside, we must scroll to the bottom, where we will find another tab, which is the one that interests us, for now. This tab is the "Import SIM contacts" tab.

By clicking on this option, a new menu will appear in which we will be given several options, depending on the email accounts we have added to our iPhone .

If we come from another operating system and we haven't registered any email yet, all the contacts we have on the SIM card will be automatically transferred to our iPhone's memory.

In our case, having 2 accounts (iCloud, Gmail), we are going to select the iCloud account. Now all the contacts that we have on the SIM card will be copied to our iCloud account, so we will have them in the cloud, from where we can access them from any Apple device.

But since what we want is to have the contacts on the iPhone, we go to our iCloud mail account, which is located in the same "Mail, contacts" tab, but in this case we will find it at the beginning . So we click on our iCloud account .

Here we will see a contact tab, among other options provided by this account. We go to the "Contacts" tab and activate it.

Now if we go to the native contacts app, we will see that all the contacts that were on the SIM card are now available on our iPhone.

And in this way, we can import all the contacts from the SIM card to our iPhone, so as not to lose any and always have them all at hand.
