Worked like a charm – My Contacts Backup Review

Super easy! For quite a while I’ve been living with contacts split between several accounts and since they weren’t on iCloud I couldn’t migrate them. Most of my contacts were tied to an email account I don’t have anymore but I couldn’t delete the account for fear of losing the contacts so I was just constantly being bugged by password requests because my phone kept trying to connect to the deleted account. This solved everything in like ten seconds. 1. Unsync iCloud contacts and delete local copies 2. Backup remaining contacts on other accounts 3. Turn sync back on and set iCloud to default contacts 4. Load backed up contacts I haven’t tried it yet but I think this might also be a good way to automatically remove duplicates without losing unique contacts. There were several contacts that I had three instances of and I went through manually deleting all the extras. But when you load the backed up contacts it first asks if you want to merge them with existing ones and then it creates new contacts for the ones it doesn’t recognize. Backup all your contacts then stop syncing everything except iCloud and restore the backup to consolidate them all. Just an idea.
