New to NameDrop or worried about its safety? With the launch of iOS 17, there comes a sleek NameDrop feature. Here's everything you need to know about the NameDrop feature & how it works.
– NameDrop is a contact-sharing feature simplifying number exchange with a single tap on your iPhone.
You can access NameDrop immediately or after updating to iOS 17, provided you have a compatible iPhone.
NameDrop only works for delivering new contact information, not changing an existing contact.
– iPhone users can easily share contact info using NameDrop. – Simply hold your iPhone close to the recipient. – When the phones are close, a Contact Poster will appear. – You can choose to either receive the contact or reciprocate by sending your own.
– NameDrop is available for iPhone users with iOS 17. – Contact sharing is exclusive to iPhone users running iOS 17 or later & Apple Watch users on Watch OS 10 or later.
– If security concerns arise, users have the option to disable NameDrop in a few simple steps. – Access Settings, tap on General, navigate to the AirDrop tab, and toggle off the "Bring Devices Together" option.
