Apple Watch introduced NameDrop in the latest watchOS 10 Beta 5 update, an extension to Apple’s existing AirDrop feature that allows users to easily share contacts. Just put two iPhones, or an iPhone and an Apple Watch together, and you can send email accounts, phone numbers, and profile pictures to each other’s iPhones.
Apple officially described this feature, calling it a new airdrop experience. Users can share contact information with designated recipients simply by holding their iPhone close to another iPhone. Users can select specific contact data to be shared and can also choose which data they do not wish to share. In addition, users can also share photos, links and other content in the same way.
For Apple Watch users, they can tap the share button in the card of the contacts application, or perform complex operations on the card on the watch face, and then put their Apple Watch and other people’s Apple Watch together to use NameDrop function.
Like all AirDrop experiences, these new features securely share content over an encrypted link, ensuring user privacy and security.
This update brings an easier way for Apple Watch users to share contacts. No cumbersome operations are required, just bring the device closer to share. This is undoubtedly a very useful function for those users who often need to share contact information with others.
In general, the watchOS 10 Beta 5 update of Apple Watch brings support for the NameDrop function to users, making sharing contact information easier and more convenient. Users only need to bring the device closer to complete the sharing, while ensuring the security and privacy protection of the content. This update will undoubtedly further enhance the user experience.
