To begin with, there are 2 ways to sync your iPhone’s contacts with Google Contacts . Let's consider them separately.
Method number 1: Sync using "features" in iOS
Perhaps this method is also available for earlier versions of firmware, but the author of this post tested the functionality only on iOS 7. So, if you are still “sitting” on iOS 6 or another version of the firmware, you should still try this synchronization method contacts. The pluses are that it is very lightweight and can be configured in just a couple of steps. Cons as such were not found.
To enable synchronization of contacts you just need to go to "Settings" -\u003e "Mail, addresses, calendars":
Here, as you understand, you just need to enable contact synchronization by clicking on the switch (it should light up in green).
Method number 2: The official method from Google through the open Internet protocol CardDav
