How to create contact groups on iPhone and iPad? Many iOS users have probably tried and failed to find functionality that allows you to create contact groups on your iPhone or iPad. The obvious benefit of this sorting method is that the user can find the desired number much faster among a large number of entries in the phone book.

How to create contact groups on iPhone and iPad using icloud.com?
- On a computer, launch a browser and log in (enter your Apple ID) on the iCloud.com website (you must also make sure that the corresponding user’s mobile device is synchronized with this account in the cloud service).
- Select the “Contacts” web application
- Click on the “+” sign in the lower left corner of the panel and select the “New Group” function.
- Enter a name for the new group and press enter.
- Add relevant contacts to the group (drag and drop from the right column).
Unfortunately, this cannot be done in iOS, which is why manipulations must be carried out in iCloud.
You should select the “All contacts” item and transfer the necessary entries (to select several entries at once, when selecting, you must simultaneously hold down the Ctrl or ⌘Command key for Mac owners).
Soon after that, the data from iCloud will be synchronized with the iOS device (check if Contacts is enabled in Settings → (your name) → iCloud), and the contact groups created on the computer will appear in it.
