Create and manage groups of contacts on iCloud.com

When you create a contact, it’s placed in the All Contacts group. To help organize your contacts and make them easier to find, you can create additional groups.

To use Contacts on iCloud.com, you must be on a tablet or computer.

Create a group

Groups are listed in alphabetical order, with All Contacts at the top of the list.

In Contacts on iCloud.com, click in the sidebar, then choose New Group.
A new group is added, with a placeholder name.
Type a name for the group, then press Return or Enter.
To change the group name, double-click it and type a new name in the text field.

Add contacts to a group

When you add a contact to another group, the contact also remains in the All Contacts group.

In Contacts on iCloud.com, click All Contacts.
Drag one or more contacts to another group on the left.
You can add a contact to more than one group. Drag the contact to each group you want to add it to.

Remove a contact from a group

When you remove a contact from a group, it’s removed from that group only. It remains in the All Contacts group.

If you delete a contact from the All Contacts group, it’s deleted from all your devices that have Contacts turned on in iCloud settings.

In Contacts on iCloud.com, click the group that contains the contact you want to remove.
Click the contact, then press the Delete key.

Delete a group

When you delete a group, the contacts it contains remain in the All Contacts group.
