1. Import Google Contacts to iPhone by Syncing

Before you do anything, you'll need to have set up a Google account on your iPhone. To do that, you'll need to follow the steps below:

• Following that, just press the Google logo to begin the process.
• Enter your Gmail credentials and hit Sign in. You'll then be asked what you want iOS to access in your Google account; as long as Contacts is selected, it doesn't really matter.

By now, you should have your Gmail set up on your iPhone. Here's how to sync the Google contacts with your iPhone.

• Again, go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords (or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars) on your iPhone, and then hit the Gmail account that you just added.
• You'll see a little toggle button next to Contacts – make sure that is turned on (in green).
• Your contacts will then start streaming in from Gmail to your Contacts section on your iPhone.

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.

Then you can find the Google contact has been imported to your iPhone.
