How Do I Download Phone Numbers from iCloud?

Published in iCloud Contacts 2 mins read

To download phone numbers from iCloud, you'll need to export them from your iCloud contacts. Here's how to do it:

Steps to Export Contacts (Including Phone Numbers) from iCloud:

  1. Go to iCloud Contacts: Open your web browser and navigate to icloud.com/contacts.

  2. Sign In: Log in using your Apple ID and password. Ensure you use the same Apple ID that you use on your iPhone or other Apple devices to sync your contacts.

  3. Select Contacts:

    • Single Contact: Click on the contact you want to export.
    • Multiple Contacts:
      • Mac: Press and hold the Command (⌘) key, then click on each contact you want to select.
      • Windows: Press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key, then click on each contact you want to select.
    • All Contacts: Select one contact, then press Command-A (Mac) or Ctrl-A (Windows) to select all contacts.
  4. Export as vCard: Click the Settings (gear) icon located in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Then, select "Export vCard...".

  5. Download the vCard File: The selected contacts (including their phone numbers and other information) will be downloaded as a .vcf file (vCard). This file contains all the contact information.

Using the Downloaded vCard File

Once you have the .vcf file, you can:

  • Import into other services: Import the file into services like Google Contacts, Outlook, or other contact management systems.
  • Open on your computer: Open the .vcf file with a contacts application on your computer (like Contacts on macOS or Windows Contacts).
  • Share: Share the file with others.

Important Considerations:

  • Make sure that contact syncing is enabled in your iCloud settings on your Apple devices to ensure all your contacts are up-to-date in iCloud.
  • The downloaded vCard file will contain all the information associated with the contacts, including phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, notes, and more.
