In a Newsroom post, Apple called NameDrop a 'new AirDrop experience.' People with iPhones can 'hold their iPhone near another to share their contact information with only their intended recipients.' NameDrop is available to you right now, or as soon as you update to iOS 17 - that is, as long as you have a supported iPhone. If you're an iPhone user, you're in luck. Simply tap your phones together to swap information. You no longer have to fork over your phone to strangers if you want to swap contact info. NameDrop is the newest way iPhone users can share contact information with each other. However, not everyone is sold on Apple's latest contact sharing feature. If you've got an iPhone running iOS 17, you're in luck NameDrop is simple to use. The release of iOS 17, and NameDrop with it, follows the announcement of the iPhone 15 series, the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at Apple's Wonderlust event in September.
Among these new-to-iPhone features is NameDrop, a contact-sharing feature that allows you to share your number with just a tap of your phone. These new upgrades include some exciting additions, including StandBy mode and the Journal app. For the past couple of months, Apple fans have been toying around with the new features that iOS 17 brought to compatible iPhones back in September.
