Like many people I am also using an Apple device and an Android device simultaneously and facing the problem of some contacts not available on either of the device.
For Example: If you save a contact on Apple it is not available on Android device or vice versa.
The basic cause of this problem is the information not being exchanged between your device and the online account (google or apple) in which you are writing the information. If in your apple device the information is being written on ICloud/Apple account it won't be available on Google platform like Gmail or Google contacts. On the other hand if you save the information on Google account on your iOS device it will be available on your iOS device and android device.
But the same google account should be used on both the devices, like if you are using
abc@gmail.com on iOS device then the same account should be signed on your Android Device too.
To solve this problem I searched the Google and found the below listed method on Ask Different and it works like charm.
Check your default contacts account on your iPhone by tapping through Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Next, under the CONTACTS section, tap on "Default Account". Finally, tap your Gmail account from the list.
Now every new contact you create on the iPhone will automatically push to your Gmail account.
But the most important thing is, when is the Contacts are being synchronized on the server of the Google?
In iOS you can do it very easily by going to Contacts and swipe down to refresh/sync and instantly the information is exchanged between your iOS device and google.
In android device (I used Redmi 4A) the exchange of information takes place when i took the phone offline and then brought it back online by switching off and then on the mobile data or wifi.
