How do I share by NFC tap on iPhone?

Hold the Innovnet card near the top of a compatible iPhone. The phone opens the profile URL in the browser. Innovnet targets iPhone XS and later. A tap takes about 2.8 seconds in normal use.

  1. Wake their iPhone and unlock it if needed.
  2. Hold your card near the top edge.
  3. Wait for the notification or Safari open.
  4. They can save your contact from the profile.

How do I share by QR code on iPhone?

Open Camera and point it at the printed QR on the card, or at the QR on your Apple Wallet pass. Tap the banner to open the profile.

  1. Open Camera.
  2. Point at the QR code.
  3. Tap the notification that appears.
  4. Confirm the Innovnet profile loaded.

How do I AirDrop the profile link?

Open your public profile in Safari, tap Share, then AirDrop, and pick the nearby iPhone. They receive a URL, not the NFC card itself.

  1. Open your Innovnet profile URL in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button.
  3. Choose AirDrop and the recipient.
  4. They accept and open the link.

Common questions

Which iPhones read NFC business cards?

Innovnet cards work with iPhone XS and later. The printed QR code works on any iPhone with a camera. A minimum iOS version beyond that is not published on the facts sheet.

Do they need the Innovnet app?

No. A tap or QR opens your profile in Safari or their default browser.

Can I AirDrop my card?

You can AirDrop the profile URL from Safari’s share sheet. That sends a link, not the physical card.

What about Apple Wallet?

Basic includes an Apple Wallet pass with your QR code. See the Apple Wallet guide for the add steps.
