How to Print Contact List from iPhone with iCloud

Apart from using a third-party tool, this post also featured steps on how to print out contacts from an iPhone with iCloud! iCloud lets users print out their contacts directly on its website version. However, this will only work if you have backed up/synced your iPhone’s contact list to iCloud. If you did, then expect that there’s a possibility you might get duplicated contacts, and the process of syncing contacts from your iPhone to the iCloud website takes a lot of time. Now, if you don’t mind those drawbacks, then here are the steps on how to print out contacts from an iPhone with iCloud:

Step 1Ensure that you have synced your iPhone to iCloud. Then, on your computer’s browser, access the iCloud official website and sign in to your Apple ID and passcode. After that, on the iCloud’s list of apps, click the "Contacts" application.

Step 2Next, from the list of contacts on the right, select the specific contacts you wish to print or select all of them by ticking the "Select all" button. After that, tick the "Settings" button with the "Gear" icon on the lower left section of the tool and select the "Print" option.

Step 3Then, select the printer that is connected to your computer to print out the selected contacts. And that’s it! Those are the simple steps on how to print a contact list from an iPhone with iCloud!

Use iTunes Sync to Print Contact List from iPhone

Aside from iCloud, this post also featured simple steps on how to print a contact list from an iPhone using iTunes. The same goes for iCloud; iTunes lets users download and print their iPhone’s contact list. Now, unlike iCloud, iTunes will only let you sync contact lists from your iPhone, and for you to download and print them out on your computer, you need to access Windows Contacts. In that case, this method only works on Windows computers. Now, how to print a contact list from an iPhone using iTunes? Here are the steps you must follow:

Step 1Link your iPhone to the computer using your charger’s cable. Next, launch the current version of iTunes and click the "device" icon. Then, tick the "Info" tab on the left pane, click the "Sync Contacts with" checkbox, and select the "Windows Contacts" on the dropdown list.

Step 2After that, choose between "All contacts" and "Selected groups" according to your needs and tick the "Sync" button on the bottom right corner. Then, wait for iTunes to initiate the syncing process.

Step 3Once the syncing process is done, head to your computer’s "Start" menu, go to the "Contacts" folder, and click the "Export" button at the top right corner. Then, select the "CSV (Comma Separated Values)" option and tick the "Export" button!

Step 4Once the exporting process is done, you can print the CSV file containing your iPhone contact lists using your printer. And there you go! Those are the simple steps on how to print a contact list from an iPhone through the iTunes sync option.

How to Use Gmail to Print Contact List from iPhone

Besides using iCloud and iTunes, this post also featured easy steps on how to print a contact from an iPhone through Gmail! Printing them via Gmail is a great alternative if you don’t prefer waiting for a syncing process to finish or haven’t synced your contacts to iTunes or iCloud. However, if you have synced your contacts before on iCloud, please expect a mix of contacts between iCloud and Gmail contacts. You will need Gmail contacts later when you perform the steps below. If that’s okay with you, here are the steps on how to print contacts from an iPhone without iCloud and iTunes using Gmail.

Step 1Run the Settings app on your iPhone, tap the "Contacts" button, and select the "Account" option. Then, tap the "Add Account" button and perform the on-screen instructions to include your Gmail account.

Step 2Next, enable the "Contacts" by toggling its switch button to sync your iPhone contacts with your Gmail account. Then, head to your browser, visit the Google Contacts webpage, and ensure you are logged in with your Gmail account.

Step 3After that, click the "Print" icon at the upper right corner next to the "Phone number" section, choose between the "Contacts (total number of your contacts), Favorites, and Frequently contacted" options, and tick the "Print" button.

Step 4Then, you can print your iPhone contact list in the pop-up window! And there you have it! Those are the easy steps on how to print a contact list from an iPhone through Gmail!

Take Screenshots of the iPhone Contact List and Print

The last method this post can recommend is to take a screenshot of your iPhone contact list and print it out. However, it will take a lot of time to take contact screenshots, especially if you have a lot of contacts on your iPhone. Moreover, this will also consume a lot of paper since the iPhone will put each of the screenshots into different pages. If that’s okay with you, here are the steps on how to print contacts from an iPhone via screenshots.

Step 1Head to your Contacts app, launch it, access the contact you wish to print out and take a screenshot of the contact. Repeat this process with the other contacts you wish to print with.

Step 2Afterward, go to your Photos app, select all the contact screenshots, tap the "Share" icon, and select the "Print" option. Then, select a printer and print it right away.

Step 3Then, wait until the iPhone successfully transfers the data to your printer and wait for the printer to initiate the printing process. And that’s it! Those are the few steps on how to print contacts from an iPhone via screenshot!
