ToolyGetting your WhatsApp contacts into iCloud means they show up on your iPhone, iPad and Mac at once — and stay backed up. WhatsApp gives you no export button, so the route is a two-part one: Tooly writes a vCard from your own WhatsApp Web session, and iCloud imports it. Here are the questions people actually ask, answered.
Yes. There's no native export in WhatsApp, but Tooly reads your signed-in WhatsApp Web session and writes a vCard (.vcf) — the exact format iCloud imports. Once it's in iCloud Contacts, every Apple device on your ID gets the numbers.
Install Tooly, open web.whatsapp.com, click Scan WhatsApp in the side panel, then Export → vCard (.vcf). The file lands in your Downloads in seconds. Full detail: export WhatsApp contacts to vCard.
Sign in at iCloud.com, open Contacts, click the settings gear in the bottom-left corner, choose Import vCard, and select the .vcf. Your WhatsApp contacts appear right away. On a Mac you can also just drag the file onto the Contacts app.
Yes. Anything added to iCloud Contacts syncs automatically to every device signed in with the same Apple ID, as long as Contacts is switched on in iCloud settings. No cables, no extra steps.
Then skip iCloud and import the same list into Google — see export to Google Contacts. Whichever account your iPhone syncs is where your WhatsApp numbers should land.
The short version
- Export a vCard from WhatsApp Web with Tooly.
- At iCloud.com → Contacts → gear → Import vCard, pick the file.
- It syncs to every Apple device on your ID.
Frequently asked questions
Is exporting to iCloud free?
Yes — Tooly exports the vCard free with no account, and the import uses Apple's own iCloud. Premium only adds filters, presets and JSON.
Are my contacts uploaded to Tooly?
No. Tooly is read-only and runs entirely in your browser; the vCard is written on your device. Only Apple's iCloud receives the file when you import it.
Can I import just some contacts?
Yes. Filter or pick a single group or chat in Tooly before exporting, so the vCard holds only the contacts you want in iCloud.
Your WhatsApp contacts, on every Apple device
Export a vCard, import it once at iCloud.com, and iPhone, iPad and Mac all catch up. Free, and entirely on your device.
