Share contacts through NameDrop

Hold your Apple Watch near an iPhone or another Apple Watch (Series 7 or later, Apple Watch SE 2nd generation, and all Ultra models) to use NameDrop. You’ll both be able to choose the specific phone numbers or email addresses you want to share, and you can share them along with your Contact Poster instantly. For information about Contact Posters, visit Apple's support site. When sharing a contact through NameDrop, you will be prompted to select either Continue or Receive Only. Select Continue to share your desired contact information. Select Receive Only to edit and save a new contact. 

 

Note: You have to have your My Card set up to share contact information via NameDrop. Shared contacts will be added to the Contacts app.
