When talking about iPhone contact transfer, most people will think of iCloud. Indeed, iCloud is an official and convenient tool for iPhone data backup. However, it undergoes many defects. One is its safety. Because its cloud-based nature, it’s highly possible that users’ private information gets leaked and known by others.
