Create a free profile

Short answer

There are four ways. Open the contact in the Contacts app and use Share Contact to send it by message or email. Use NameDrop to exchange details by holding two supported iPhones together. Show a contact QR code that a compatible scanner can offer to save. Or hand someone an NFC card or link that opens a profile with a Save contact button. The first sends a copy of one contact, and the last keeps your details current because the page is always live.

Four ways to share a contact

  1. From the Contacts app

    Open Contacts, choose the person (or your own card), scroll down and use Share Contact. Pick Messages, Mail or another app. The recipient gets a contact file (a vCard) they can save.

  2. With NameDrop

    On supported iPhones you can bring two phones close together to exchange contact details. Apple describes it in its NameDrop guide; which models and software versions support it is listed there.

  3. With a QR code

    A contact QR code lets the other person scan with the Camera app, and their phone offers to save your details. Make one with the free QR code generator.

  4. With a profile link or card

    Send a link or tap an NFC card and your profile opens in their browser with a Save contact button. See how to tap on an iPhone.

For business, a live page beats a copied contact

A shared contact is a snapshot. If your number or title changes, everyone who saved the old one keeps it. A profile page always shows your current details, and its Save contact button gives people a fresh copy when they want one.

NearvoQ profiles are free (1 profile, with a QR code and Save contact), and cards from $19.99 open the same page with a tap. NearvoQ does not offer NameDrop or Wallet passes; it opens in a compatible browser through a supported tap, a scan or a link. Start with the free digital business card.

If sharing does not work

  1. Check the phone and software

    NameDrop and some sharing features need supported iPhones and an up-to-date system. Apple's guide lists what is needed.

  2. Try a link instead

    If two phones will not exchange details, send a profile link or show a QR code. A link needs a compatible browser and connection; QR scanning also needs a supported camera or scanner.

  3. Check the saved card

    After someone saves a contact, open it and confirm the phone number and email are right. A typo in your own card travels everywhere.

  4. Update your own card

    Keep your own contact card current in the Contacts app, and keep your profile current, so the details people receive are right.
