How To Make And Share an iPhone Contact Card

Ever scribbled your information on a napkin only to realise the other person forgot to save it? Not anymore. Welcome to the future of contact sharing, where your iPhone becomes your business card. 

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to make and share a sleek contact card on your iPhone, so you look more professional and tech-savvy. And if you want a solution that works not only for iPhone-to-iPhone but also for Android, web, and every device in between, you can consider mobiQode.

What is an iPhone contact card?

An iPhone contact card is basically a digital business card. It holds your key details like name, title, company, phone number, email, and even a photo. All of this is stored in your iPhone’s Contacts app or a digital business card app.

You can use Apple’s built-in ‘NameDrop’ feature for quick iPhone-to-iPhone sharing. But you should switch to a third-party app like mobiQode for more flexibility. The latter lets you share across any platform, customize your design, and add richer features. They allow cross-platform sharing, so Android users can receive your info just as easily. You can also customize your card with your logo, brand colors, social links, and even interactive CTAs, making your card look polished and consistent with your professional identity.

How to create and customize your contact card on iPhone (and Android)

Step 1: Sign up or log in

Go to mobiQode.com and sign up for free. You can also access it directly from your mobile browser without any requirement to download the app.

Step 2: Create your card

Once you’re in, select ‘Create Digital Business Card’. Add your details like name, job title, phone number, and email. You can also include custom fields such as your website, social profiles, or portfolio links.

Step 3: Add your brand personality

This is where mobiQode shines. Customize your card and –

• Upload your profile photo or company logo
• Choose from multiple design layouts and color themes to match your brand
• Add your tagline, pronouns, or company description for a personalized touch

Step 4: Make it interactive

mobiQode cards go beyond basic info. You can embed videos, PDFs, or presentation links, add lead capture forms, link to appointment booking or portfolio pages for instant engagement, and more.

Step 5: Save and share instantly

Once customized, your card is live. You’ll get a unique link and QR code you can share anywhere. Recipients can open and save your contact instantly, whether they use an iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop.

Note: You can update your card anytime. Every shared link auto-updates automatically, so your contacts always have your latest details without you needing to resend anything.

How to share your iPhone contact card

1. With mobiQode, you can share the contact card via a QR code that anyone can scan (on iPhone/Android/web).
2. You can also send a link via SMS, email, or chat for the user to click and view on any device.
3. You can embed your card in your email signature or your website, so every email you send becomes a touchpoint.
4. You can also directly add the contact card to your Apple Wallet (for iPhone) and Google Wallet (for Android).

Note: your recipient does not need to have an iPhone or a specific app installed. With mobiQode, they can just click/scan and view your card directly.

Which should you use: built-in or digital card app?

Use the built-in iPhone card if:

• You mostly connect with other iPhone users
• You only need to share basic info (name, phone, email)
• You don’t care about branding, analytics, or device-agnostic sharing
• You’re networking occasionally and don’t need advanced features

Use a digital business card app like mobiQode if:

• You meet people with mixed devices (Android/web/iPhone)
• You want your card to reflect your brand (logo, colours, links)
• You want to embed richer content (links, video, payment, portfolio)
• You want to update your info once and have all past shared cards update
• You attend events, collect many contacts, hand out many cards, and want analytics or organisation
• You care about overall branding, versatility, and broad compatibility
