The contacts on my iPhone 6+ (iOS 8.1.2) will not automatically update.

They do update on my iPad, my iMac, and iCloud.com. All three of these seem to get changes almost instantaneously when I make modifications on one of the other three devices.

However, changes between my iPhone and the other devices only sync if I go into contacts on my iPhone, select "Groups", and then pull down in order to force a refresh.

I've carefully checked all of my settings, and they are identical to my iPad which does refresh properly. I've filed a bug report with Apple, but I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem? The only thing I have not tried doing is to turn off iCloud Contacts on my iPhone and then turn it back on again (I guess I don't really have that much confidence in Apple's iCloud implementation, and worry that something bad might happen like missing or duplicate contacts).
