Explore the NameDrop feature on iOS 17

According to SlashGear , all users need to do with NameDrop is bring two iPhones (running iOS 17) close together to share contacts, thereby shortening the time compared to traditional sharing operations such as via messaging apps or reading contact addresses for the other party to re-enter.

NameDrop is a feature that works similar to AirDrop.

This doesn’t mean any stranger’s iPhone can grab your iPhone’s contacts when they’re nearby. Instead, when the iPhone comes within sharing range, separate share and receive buttons will appear on the screen, and only after tapping the correct button will the contact sharing feature occur. Apple says users can choose which phone numbers and email addresses on the contact card they want to share with nearby iPhones.

When using NameDrop, not only is the contact card shared between the two phones, but also the Contact Poster - another feature of iOS 17. The Contact Poster is essentially a contact card where users can customize the image, memoji, font, and color for incoming calls...

Apple isn't keeping NameDrop exclusive to the iPhone, as users can also exchange contacts between an iPhone and an Apple Watch by placing them close together. The feature will be enabled with a software update for the Apple Watch later this year. It's worth noting that NameDrop requires at least a Watch SE, Watch Ultra, and Watch Series 6 (or newer), and since NameDrop is an iOS 17 feature, it will be available on iPhones running that operating system, leaving out the iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus and older.

NameDrop is also coming to Apple Watch soon via an update.

Apple even brought NameDrop the ability to share other data. Using the same method, users can listen to music via SharePlay, watch online videos , and even play games together. It's one of the most practical and convenient features in the iOS 17 catalog.

NameDrop isn’t an Apple invention. Android phones have had a similar feature for years, allowing two phones with NFC chips to touch each other to share contacts. A company called Bump also offered iOS and Android apps that allowed you to share files by touching two phones together. It was a popular app, but the company was later acquired by Google before the app was shut down in 2014.
