Step-by-step: share your contact from iPhone

Option 1 — vCard QR code (recommended for print): Generate your vCard QR above, fill in your details, and download as SVG. Add it to the back of your business card. Anyone — iPhone or Android — scans with their camera and taps "Add to Contacts." Works in person, by email, or on any printed material.

Option 2 — NameDrop (iPhone 15+ / iOS 17): Hold your iPhone near another iPhone (top-to-top proximity). A sharing prompt appears on both screens. Both users choose what to share. Fast and elegant, but iPhone-only and requires iOS 17. Disabled by default if the other phone has "Bring iPhone Near" turned off in Settings → General → AirDrop.

Option 3 — AirDrop: Open the Contacts app → find your own contact → tap Share → choose AirDrop. The recipient gets a .vcf file and taps "Add to Contacts." Works on all iPhones, but requires both people to be nearby and have AirDrop visibility enabled.

Pro tip: save your QR code to iPhone Photos

After generating and downloading your vCard QR code, save it to your iPhone's Photos app. When you meet someone, open Photos, find the QR image, and hold it up for them to scan. No printing needed for impromptu exchanges. You get the universal compatibility of QR without carrying physical cards.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to share contacts from an iPhone?
A vCard QR code is the most universal — works on iPhone and Android, in person or remotely. NameDrop (iPhone 15+ only) is great between two iPhones nearby. AirDrop works on all iPhones but requires the recipient to be close and have AirDrop enabled.
What is NameDrop and how does it work?
NameDrop is an iOS 17 feature on iPhone 15+. Hold two iPhones near each other and a contact-sharing prompt appears. Fast and easy, but only works between iPhones running iOS 17 — Android users cannot use NameDrop.
Can Android users receive my vCard QR code?
Yes. vCard QR codes are universal — Android camera apps scan them natively and open the Contacts app with your details pre-filled. This is the main advantage over NameDrop and AirDrop.
How do I add my QR code to Apple Wallet?
Apple Wallet is designed for passes and tickets, not vCard QR codes. The practical alternative: save your QR image to iPhone Photos so you can show it on screen without printing.
