One of the coolest features coming to watchOS 10 is NameDrop, which allows you to share your contact information with another person. Although NameDrop has been available since the early days of iOS 17 beta testing, it was only accessible between iPhones. However, with the release of watchOS 10 beta 5, registered developers and public beta testers can now use NameDrop on their Apple Watches as well.

While NameDrop has been available since the early days of iOS 17 beta testing, Apple said this feature would come to iPhone-Apple Watch “later this year,” which usually indicates version X.1.

That said, until now, registered developers and public beta testers could only use NameDrop from one iPhone to another. With watchOS 10 beta 5, this changes, and you can try NameDrop from Apple Watch to Apple Watch and iPhone to Apple Watch.. He discovered an animation inside watchOS 10 beta code that shows this feature in action. You just need to hold two Apple Watches or one Apple Watch and one iPhone close to the other, and your contact information is shared.

Although sharing your contact information might not sound like an exciting feature, Apple has revamped the Phone app with iOS 17 with Personalized Contact Posters. It provides a new way for users to express themselves by customizing how they appear, bringing a completely new look to incoming calls. They can choose treatments for photos or Memoji and eye-catching typography and font colors.

With that in mind, Apple gave the same iOS 16 Lock Screen treatment to Contacts with iOS 17, so users can have a more immersive experience when getting a call. In addition, it finally makes it easier to share your contact with someone else, so this person doesn’t need to write your details, and you can share your preferred photo and information just by holding your iPhone closer to the other., so using these functions is even more pleasant.

In about a month, Apple will release iOS 17, watchOS 10, and other operating system updates to users.
