iPad can be totally considered as an iPhone with bigger screen, where you can do almost everything as on iPhone. When we get our new iPad, the first thing we need to do is to copy all the iOS data you have, such as contacts, photos, etc. Since we can send iMessages or Facetime to our friends, syncing iPhone contacts to iPad is an important one.
In the following, we have organized two simple methods for you to sync contacts from iPhone to iPad, iPad Pro/Air/mini, etc. Hope you can get what you want.
When we talk about transferring contacts to iPad from iPhone, sync contacts with iCloud is the first method that comes across the mind. No need to install iTunes or anything on a Mac or PC, iCloud allows you to sync contacts from iPhone to iPad wirelessly whenever your devices are connected to the Internet.
Before you copy iPhone contacts on iPad, make sure that you've logged into the same iCloud account on both iPhone and iPad. Tap Settings > iCloud on iPhone and make sure the option for Contacts syncing is toggled on. And you need to tap the Keep on My iPhone option. Then choose Merge to combine iPhone contacts with iCloud database. After this, repeat the same step on new iPad. Then iCloud will automatically transfer contacts from iPhone to iPad. You also can use this way to transfer contacts from iPhone to another iPhone.
This is indeed an easy way. Sadly, iCloud only enables you to transfer contacts all together from iPhone to iPad, and your original contacts on iPad will be wiped out. For people who prefer to sync only some iPhone to iPad or save the original iPad contacts. You may need to consider another way.
