How to share a digital business card on WhatsApp

In the UAE, a conversation with a new contact moves to WhatsApp within minutes, not days. If your digital business card isn't easy to drop into that chat, you're making people work for details they could have in one tap. Here's how to share your MyInfo card on WhatsApp properly, in a chat, a status, or a QR code.

Send your card link in a chat

Your card lives at a short, permanent address such as myinfo.ae/yourname. Copy it from your card and paste it straight into any WhatsApp chat — it unfurls into a preview with your name and photo, so the other person knows exactly what they're opening before they tap it. This is faster than typing out a phone number and email by hand, and nothing gets mistyped.

Add WhatsApp to your card itself

Do it the other way round too. Add a WhatsApp icon to your card so people can message you without saving your number first — see links, videos and text for how social icons work. Once it's on there, your WhatsApp number travels with your card everywhere you share it: NFC tap, QR code or link.

Put your card on your WhatsApp Business profile

If you run a WhatsApp Business account, add your card link to the business description or the "website" field. Anyone who opens your business profile — before or after messaging you — gets one tap to your full card, with everything a paper card or a plain phone number can't show: your links, your photo, your services.

Share it as a QR code in a status or group

For a WhatsApp status, group, or broadcast list, share your card's QR code as an image instead of a link — see share your card with a QR code. It works even for people who screenshot your status later and scan it from their camera roll.

What happens when they open it

Whoever taps your link or scans your code lands on your live card and can tap Save Contact to add your details straight to their phone — no manual typing, no missed digit. See how visitors save your contact. Because the card is live, anything you update afterwards — a new number, a new project link — is already correct the next time they open it.

Keep it as your default follow-up

Once your card is on WhatsApp in a few places — your profile, your saved messages, a pinned chat — sending it becomes a two-second habit after any meeting, site visit, or introduction. If you haven't created your card yet, that's the first step before any of this works.

Frequently asked questions

Does the other person need to install anything to open my card?

No. Your card link opens in their phone's normal browser, and WhatsApp's own preview shows your name and photo before they even tap it.

Can I share my card on WhatsApp without giving out my personal number?

Yes. Your card link doesn't require WhatsApp at all — you only add a WhatsApp icon if you want people to message that number. If you'd rather not expose it, leave the icon off and share the link on its own.
