One-tap Save Contact: how visitors add you to their phone

Handing someone a paper card only works if they later type your number into their phone. A digital business card skips that step. Every MyInfo card carries a Save Contact button, and one tap is enough to put your name, number and company straight into a visitor's contacts.

What actually happens when someone taps it

Save Contact does not just show your details on screen — it generates a .vcf file (a standard contact card) built from your current card and hands it to the visitor's phone. Their phone offers to add it as a new contact, the same way it would if they saved a friend's number. See how visitors save your contact for the exact steps on iPhone and Android.

Because the file is generated from your live card each time, whatever you have filled in — name, job title, company, phone numbers, email, website — is what lands in their address book. There is nothing to re-upload or keep in sync separately.

Why this matters more than it sounds

A business card that gets glanced at and pocketed rarely turns into a saved contact later. Most people mean to type in the details and never do. Save Contact removes the friction between "I met someone interesting" and "this person is in my phone," which is the difference between a card that gets remembered and one that gets lost in a drawer.

It also means your digital business card keeps working after the meeting ends. The visitor does not need to reopen your card to find your number again — it is already saved under your name.

Keep your card accurate before you meet people

Save Contact pulls from whatever is on your card right now, so:

• Update a changed phone number or job title before an event, not after — see edit your card details.
• Double-check the fields that go into the contact file: name, company, numbers, email, website.
• If several team members share a template, confirm each person's own details are correct on their own card, not copied from someone else's.

Make Save Contact the only thing visitors see

If your card exists mainly to get you into someone's contacts — for example a card printed on a stand at a reception desk — you can skip the full profile entirely. The bypass setting sends every visitor straight to the contact download instead of your full page. See send visitors straight to your contact to set it up, and test it on your own phone first, since bypass hides your photo, links and video while it is on.

Pair it with however you share your card

Save Contact works the same way whether someone opens your card by NFC tap, QR code, or a link you sent directly. The delivery method changes; the one-tap save at the other end does not.

Frequently asked questions

Does Save Contact work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. Both platforms understand the standard .vcf contact file format, so tapping Save Contact on a MyInfo card offers to add you as a contact on either phone without an app.

Will an old saved contact update itself if I change my card later?

No. Save Contact creates a snapshot at the moment someone taps it. If your number changes afterward, a contact saved earlier will not update on its own — this is exactly why your live card link matters more for long-term contact than the saved file alone.
