That means you\u2019re going to have to use one of the other sharing options available from your phone, but there are lots of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">On an iPhone, open the Contacts app on iOS, then tap your name at the top of the contacts list. Choose <strong>Share Contact<\/strong>, select the fields in your contact card you want to share (including your number and address), and you\u2019ll be given a choice of options for sharing\u2014from email to WhatsApp message to social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It\u2019s similar on Android: Get to the sharing page for your own contact card as we\u2019ve described above for Pixel and Galaxy phones, and next to the Quick Share option you\u2019ll find alternative methods of sharing that are compatible with iPhones. You can choose text or email, for example, or Bluetooth (which should work with an iPhone, as long as the iPhone owner has the <strong>Bluetooth<\/strong> page from the iPhone Settings open).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tap Who can share with you, then enable Everyone and check the Only for 10 minutes box.
