2. Import Google Contacts to iPhone via iCloud

An alternative method is to utilize iCloud to retrieve your Google contacts to your iPhone. By deploying this strategy, you'll be able to select which contacts you import, rather than having them all flood across. It's really easy, just follow these steps:

  • First off, make sure you're using the old version of Google Contacts, because the newest update doesn't support the exporting function.
  • Log into your Gmail account on your browser, then hit Google > Contacts.
  • Choose the contacts that you want to import, press More > Export > vCard format.
  • You'll then need to go across to your iCloud and log into your account using your Apple credentials on iCloud.com.
  • Click on Contacts and select Import vCard (the file you've just exported from Google).
  • Then turn on Contacts in iCloud on your iPhone by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
