Sharing contact VCARD files via Messages in iOS15

Sharing contact VCARD files via Messages in iOS15

Before updating to iOS15, my colleagues and I have been able to share contact VCARD files via SMS.


Now after the update, the contact cards now only show up as SMS text like the below.


We have had MMS enabled, face time and already tried network reset. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

vCard via SMS is not possible and never was irrespective of the iOS. SMS will expand it as text and send. MMS will send .vcf file.


You can only share using iMessage or MMS.


MMS is carrier specific feature please contact the Carrier that enabled it for you.


You need MMS enabled by your Carrier for the SIM that you use and then enable it in your Settings. See the Pic below
