Keep your contacts up to date with iCloud
With iCloud, your contacts stay up to date on all your devices. You can also use contacts stored in iCloud to manage who your children communicate with on their Apple devices.
Access the same contacts on all your devices
When you set up iCloud for Contacts, your contacts are stored in the cloud, which frees up space on your device. You can see them on any device that’s set up for iCloud and Contacts, including your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows device. You can also access your iCloud contacts in a web browser at iCloud.com.
Because your contacts are in the cloud, changes you make on one device—like adding a contact, updating a phone number, or deleting an email address—automatically appear on all your devices. You see the most up-to-date version of your contacts, no matter where you access them.
Restore contacts on all your devices
Contacts stored in iCloud are archived automatically. You can use iCloud.com to restore an archived version of your contacts on all your devices if you ever need to.
Use iCloud contacts to set Communication Limits
If you’re part of a Family Sharing group, you can set Communication Limits for children using Screen Time. You can manage the contacts stored in iCloud for your child, and use those to choose who your child is allowed to communicate with using Phone, FaceTime, or Messages during screen time and downtime.
