Contact Sync for iPhone 4s

[zachleon11]

For some reason, the "+" sign was not in my Contacts app. I did some online searches and found that I had to turn my Contacts "on" in my iCloud setting. This solved the problem. However...

Now I have all of my dad's contacts. He is a lawyer and has about 1500 contacts so now my contacts are up to almost 2,000! It makes it sort of a pain going through all of them now. Is there a way to get rid of JUST his contacts and keep the ones that were my own originally?

Are you sharing an AppleID with your father?

You need your own apple ID and iCloud account.

I am sharing an apple ID and account with my father. It's a family account. Can I still be on the family account if I change my Apple ID?

Yes. Your apple account has nothing to do with your phone service. However I wouldn't change the current apple ID because your dads info will be all messed up. Just create a new account in your name. This way you will have your own contacts and not mixed with your dads.
