Discover the NameDrop feature available 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, significantly reducing the time compared to traditional sharing methods such as through messaging apps or reading out contacts for the other person to type back in.

NameDrop is a feature that works similarly to AirDrop.

This doesn't mean any stranger's iPhone can access your iPhone's contacts when they're near each other. Instead, when an iPhone comes close to the sharing range, separate share and receive buttons will appear on the screen, and contact sharing will only occur after the correct button is pressed. Apple says users can choose which phone numbers and email addresses on the contact list they want to share with nearby iPhones.

When using NameDrop, not only are contact cards shared between two phones, but also Contact Posters—another feature of iOS 17. Contact Posters are essentially contact cards where users can customize images, memoji, fonts, and colors for incoming calls…

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

NameDrop will also soon be coming to Apple Watch via an update.

Apple even gave 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. This is one of the most practical and convenient features in the iOS 17 lineup.

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 file sharing by touching two phones together. It was a popular app, but the company was later acquired by Google before the app was discontinued in 2014.
