I have synced the contacts to iCloud on both my phone and mac and even reset them both, but it seems there are some contacts missing? The majority of them are there but some are on my iPhone but not on my mac which can be annoying when replying to someone using the mac as it does not have their name on screen. Any advise pls, thanks.

Hi zak194,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with your iCloud Contacts today. It sounds like not all are syncing between your iPhone and Mac.
Have you checked to see if some of the contacts on your iPhone are syncing from a third-party email account? You can check in Settings > Passwords & Accounts > [your email].
You can also check iCloud.com from a computer's browser to see what is being synced there.
If you continue to have issues, see this article's steps: Get help using iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders.
