Help with Contacts after migrating from 1 iphone to another..Says iCloud in contacts

Help with Contacts after migrating from 1 iphone to another..Says iCloud in contacts

After migrating from an old old iPhone, when I go into contacts it says iCloud. Is this a problem? I have no other Apple devices.


Or should I just shut off iCloud under my profile, name in Setting for icloud and Contacts?


Thank you very much in advance

Peter

That's not a problem. At least it isn't a problem if you want your contacts automatically synced with iCloud. If your phone is ever lost, stolen, broken, etc you will have a copy of your contacts available on iCloud.com. Also they will automatically migrate to any new iPhone in the future.
