Sync contacts across devices on iPad
To keep your contact information up to date across all your devices where you’re signed in to your Apple Account, you can use iCloud.
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
Tap See All next to Saved to iCloud, then turn on Contacts.
Alternatively, you can sync the information between iPad and your Mac or Windows device to keep the information up to date across iPad and your computer. See Sync iPad with your computer.
If you use iCloud for Contacts, your contacts are kept up to date automatically, and no options appear for syncing them with your computer.
