iCloud is a good choice when you want to sync contacts between your Apple devices. By saving contacts to iCloud from all of your devices, you will be able to access contacts from your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, as long as you use the same iCloud account. That's quite convenient for you to keep contacts updated on your Apple devices. Thus, it could be quite helpful to know how to save contacts to iCloud, either from an iPhone/iPad/iPod or a Mac.
To back up contacts to iCloud, it's actually quite easy to achieve. But before you start, you need to make sure there is enough iCloud storage to save these items, or you will fail to sync contacts to iCloud. Besides, the contact you delete on your iPhone will also be removed from iCloud.
Also applies to: iPad and iPod touch
To back up iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch contacts to iCloud, you can get everything done from the Settings app.
To save contacts to iCloud:
Step 1. Go to the Settings app.
Step 2. Tap your name and choose "iCloud."

Step 2. Click "iCloud" and select "Contacts."
After syncing contacts to iCloud from your iPhone and Mac, you can now access your contacts from different devices and keep them updated across your iPhone, Mac, and more.
iCloud is not the only solution for contact backup. Honestly speaking, it's not the optimal choice for backing up iPhone contacts. That's because once you delete contacts from your iPhone, these items will also be deleted from iCloud, either. If you want to recover these deleted contacts from a backup, iCloud won't help. Thus, iCloud is a better choice for data syncing, rather than data backup.
