Every time when I upgrade my iPhone to the latest firmware I often lost my some of my contacts due to wrong sync or some other error. So I decided to search for a online iphone contacts backup solution then I came to know about iDrive which comes with a free and paid version which simply allows you to backup or store iphone contacts which you can restore with the help of this app.
But for all the new contacts you keep on adding, you will need to run the contacts backup upload manually at times, so that you have the latest backup stored with the recent new contacts you have added.
After searching some I found another free solution which was more easy to implement, and with this way I could store my iPhone contacts on my google Gmail account as contacts, and this way when ever I add a new contact it gets automatically stored on google server without any extra effort.
