Been setting up iPhones for a long time now. Recently I have been seeing a lot of cases of the default contacts a/c being set to Gmail instead of iCloud. Usually some of the contacts are Gmail contacts and the others are iCloud or just locally stored. Might be something to do with the updates to the Contacts App that added the Group feature in iOS 11 I think?
The only option on iPhone would be to merge the On My iPhone contacts with an iCloud account (turning Contacts on and off if necessary under Settings iCloud). From there you can log into iCloud.com open the contacts web app click the gear at the bottom left and select all Click the gear at the bottom left and export vCard.

While most of us use Gmail for all our cloud computing needs, Apple's iCloud actually has some really nice things going for it—especially if you're a heavy Mac and iOS user. I've walked through. New iPhone user. Move or transfer Contacts From Android To iPhone. Easy And Fast way using with iCloud.New iPhone user will fallow step-by-step instruc.
Anyway, to correct this issue, I have had to go to the Google Contacts site, export contacts as Vcards and then import them on iCloud.com. I then set default a/c for contacts to iCloud. I then turn off Google contacts sync and then all is well.
However, my question is, why can't I just toggle off iCloud contacts and then toggle back on to merge the Gmail contacts with iCloud? This would be much faster. It seems that only locally stored contacts merge with iCloud. Is this correct?
We are in year 2020. I think the capability to merge online contacts from any service (be it Google or Apple etc) should be easy. I realise that the Gmail contacts essentially only display on the phone but reside on a Google server. However, since the iPhone has all the required credentials for Gmail and iCloud already, I think this merge should be possible. Maybe Apple and Google need to co-operate on this. Fat chance on that I guess :)
