Apple has a feature called Groups on the Contacts app. However, the feature only allows you to view existing contact groups on your iPhone. You cannot add a contact group on iPhone using your phone alone. Luckily, you can still create a contact group on iPhone by using your iCloud account and a computer. The steps in this tutorial will show you how to add a contact group to your iPhone or iPad.
It may seem counterintuitive for Apple to remove the capability to add a contact group on iPhone, but for Apple, this is not a bad move. Adding a contact group forces users to utilize the functions of iCloud, including the backing up and syncing of contacts and contact groups.
