    If you don’t see this option in the Contacts menu, verify and ensure that your SIM card is installed on your iPhone properly. You may have to consider removing and reinserting it to your phone.

    And if that doesn’t work either, then you better contact your cellular service provider/carrier for further assistance.

  4. Tapping on the Import SIM contacts option will launch a  pop-up menu beneath the display. It’s basically prompting you to choose which account you’d want to import your iPhone’s SIM contacts to. To continue, tap to select Gmail from the given options.

To instigate the process, tap Start backup. After you back up, you can start viewing and using all your files including photos, calendar and contacts, across all your devices.

And that’s all about creating a duplicate of your SIM card contact details from the iPhone 14 to a specified Google or Gmail account.
