How To Use Namedrop In Ios 17 On Iphone

So, you no longer need to input the contact details manually. The best thing about NameDrop is it’s integrated directly into AirDrop, so it’s lightning-fast. Trust me, the process works like magic. So, let’s get started and see how to use NameDrop in iOS 17 on your iPhone.

How to Use iOS 17 NameDrop on iPhone to Exchange Contacts

1. On both iPhones, swipe down from the top right to open the Control Center. Here are some things to keep in mind before you proceed further:
2. Touch and hold the network block (where you see Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, & Airplane mode).
3. Tap the AirDrop icon and choose Everyone for 10 Minutes.
4. Now, bring the two iPhones in close proximity. You will see an animation with glow effects on the top half of both iPhones.
5. The Contact Posters in iOS 17 (if created) will appear on both iPhones. You can choose to Share or Receive Only.
6. If you want to share your contact details, tap Share and the other person could choose Receive Only to get your information or Share if he wants to share his contact details too.
7. If you only want to receive the contact details but don’t want to share yours, tap the Receive Only button.
8. The contact details, including email address, phone number, contact posters, and other information will be shared between the devices.
9. Finally, tap Done to save the received contact details. You can also edit the received contact information.
   If you have shared the contact details once, you will see an AirDrop notification at the top when you try to use NameDrop again. When you tap the notification, you will see the contact card. With the NameDrop feature, iOS 17 also brings support for tapping the two iPhones to share files via AirDrop. So, if next time AirDrop is not showing on nearby devices, you can hold the top of your iPhone near another iPhone to AirDrop files.
