The next time you’re at a networking event or dinner party, just hold your iPhone close to exchange phone numbers with a new colleague or friend.
This feature, known as NameDrop, was made available when: apple iOS 17 released in September.
NameDrop is faster than reciting numbers out loud or swapping phones to manually enter contact information. Plus, you don’t have to worry about misspelling a new contact’s name. Just transfer it directly to your mobile phone.
Apple lets you choose what you share with someone when you use NameDrop, so you don’t accidentally reveal sensitive information stored on your phone, like your home address. There is one drawback. You cannot share your email and phone number at the same time. Also, he can only NameDrop once between two phones unless he deletes the contact and starts over.
Here’s how to try it yourself.
