What you need to do is log into iCloud with two different iCloud accounts on the same device. Now let' take a look at the detailed steps to learn how to transfer contacts between iCloud accounts on iPhone.\n<\/p>\n<p>1.\tTo copy contacts from one iCloud account to another, you first need to back up contacts to your iPhone from one iCloud account. Open Settings on iPhone and tap on \"Apple ID\". Input one iCloud account and password. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/transfer-contacts-from-icloud-to-another1.jpg\" onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/transfer-contacts-from-icloud-to-another1.jpg\" title=\"Input one iCloud account and password\" alt=\"Input one iCloud account and password\" width=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>2.\tGo to \"iCloud\" and toggle \"Contacts\" on if \"Contacts\" is not activated. If \"Contacts\" is already turned on but you didn't see contact information backed up to your iPhone, you can turn it off and re-open. When you turn off \"Contacts\", a prompt asks you if you want to keep contacts on iPhone. You can select \"Delete from My iPhone\". When you open it again, iCloud contacts will be backed up to iPhone. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/transfer-contacts-from-icloud-to-another2.jpg\" onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/transfer-contacts-from-icloud-to-another2.jpg\" title=\"toggle Contacts on\" alt=\"toggle Contacts on\" width=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>3.\tNow log out this iCloud account on your iPhone and sign into another iCloud account.
