This nifty feature lets you easily swap contact info with another iPhone, and it also shows off the snazzy new Contact Posters. Staying connected with friends, family, and colleagues has never been easier. Let's dive into how to use NameDrop in iOS 17 on your iPhone.

2. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and AirDrop should be turned on for both devices.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Go to General → AirDrop.
3. Toggle on "Bringing Devices Together."
