Use NameDrop to share your contact information with new people
With watchOS 10.1 and iOS 17.1, you can use NameDrop to quickly share contact information with a nearby Apple Watch or iPhone.
Note: NameDrop is available on Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 7 and later, and Apple Watch SE (2nd generation).
Share from Apple Watch to iPhone: Hold the display of your Apple Watch a few centimeters from the top of another person’s iPhone.
Share from Apple Watch to another Apple Watch: Open the Contacts app
on your Apple Watch, tap your picture in the top-right corner, tap Share, then bring your watch close to another person’s Apple Watch.
A glow emerges from both devices and Apple Watch vibrates to indicate a connection is being made.
You can choose to only receive the other person’s contact information, or to receive and also share your own.
Continue holding your devices near each other. To cancel, move the two devices away from each other before NameDrop completes.
Note: NameDrop only works for sending new contact information, not updating an existing contact.
