If you have lots of contacts stored in your Outlook or Exchange account and want to move them elsewhere, such a task may turn into quite a tedious process. There is no one general way to move contacts from Exchange to iCloud, but you can utilize some tools available in apps such as Microsoft Outlook. It will help you to copy contacts from Exchange to Outlook relatively quickly and easily.

Copy Contacts from Exchange to iCloud

The first thing you need to do is download the official Microsoft Outlook app for your iPhone or iPad. Log in with your Exchange account.

  1. Now, pull out a sidebar menu with a swipe from the app’s left side and press the settings icon with a little cog. You can find it in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  2. In the list of email accounts, find the one from which you need to copy your contacts. Tap on it and look for the Account Settings section.
  3. Next, find the Save Contacts toggle and enable it.
  4. Outlook will ask you whether you want to save contacts from Exchange to your iCloud account. Confirm the action.
  5. Allow the app to access your contacts list.

After you did this, all you need to do is sit back and wait for your iPhone to copy contacts from Exchange to iCloud. This process may take some time, depending on how many contacts you have. You do not need to transfer contacts from Exchange to iCloud manually. Your phone will do all the job for you. Also, with the Save Contacts toggle enabled, all new contacts in Exchange will automatically appear in your iCloud account.
