2. Next, tap on the link Groups in the upper left corner of your screen.
3. On the next screen, tap the Hide All Contacts button on near the bottom of the page. It will change to ‘Show all Contacts’.
4. Next, tap only on the Contact Groups you would like to view within your iPhone and then tap Done. For instance, tap “All iCloud” to show all the iCloud Contacts you have from your phone.
If you’re in your situation there could be different contact groups, such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc. Simply tap on any Contact Groups you would like to include within the Contacts List.
