Apple’s iOS 17 update is delivering a number of quality-of-life improvements to the iPhone’s software, including those that will allow users to better interact with their favorite apps and customize the device to their liking. Among these is an update to AirDrop, which now includes a new gesture where you can bring your phones together to share information — essentially bumping the phones to send someone your contact details. Perhaps for meeting new people, business conferences and quicker than sending the contact info via text, when in person.

The feature, cleverly dubbed Name Drop, has you bringing your phone close together with someone else in order to exchange contact information.  When you do, you’ll see the same newly introduced contact poster that appears during phone calls appear on the screen. And you can easily choose the phone numbers and email addresses you want to share alongside the contact exchange as a part of this process. This feature works across iPhone and Apple Watch, the company says.
