Note: If you use an Exchange account, those contact cards can include only three email addresses, and there are limits on the number of phone numbers, names, messaging addresses and street addresses.
If you edit a contact in a read-only account such as Exchange or Google, the changes you make appear only in Contacts.
When you sign in to the same Apple Account on each of your devices and turn on Contacts in iCloud settings, your contacts are available on all your devices, and changes you make to contacts on one device appear on the others.
