iPhone/iPad iCloud is a piece of junk right now.

Since iOS 26.1 I'm running into the following iCloud issues.

  1. Contacts are not being synced to iOS and iPad OS at all, no matter how I re-enable contact syncing I can't get them to sync.
  2. Somehow, my Mac and iPad are able to send out iMessages, but not my iPhone. My iPhone can receive and sync what I've sent using my Mac and iPad
  3. Unable to save an airdropped contact

And I know that the official way is through the feedback system, but WTF is this bug doing on an non-beta system.

I don't know, but you're also in the wrong place. We're just third-party developers writing apps for Apple's platforms. We don't work for Apple, so posting your issue here isn't going to progress it.

Just raise separate feedback reports for each individual issue - as you noted - and see if Apple can fix them.
