Creating an NFC tag with contact info that iPhone background tag scanning can read

This can be achieved using URL NDEF record itself. Just host a vcard on a URL and use that for URL NDEF record. Scanning the tag will trigger browser, and opening it will open the contact application with the details in the vcard loaded.

Note the URL should have VCARD content

READ A CONTACT CARD FROM NFC Hi, I would like to know whether it would be possible share a contact using NFC. I have written the data using the NFC Tools APP. I can read the card using the app as well. But without using any third party software. Is it possible to read directly? If I mention a url, it opens a website or if enter a contact number, it prompts to call the number. But would like to know if the same applies to share the full contact.
