Hello eoweieo,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Are you sending new contact information as outlined here:
"Use NameDrop on iPhone to share your contact info
Use NameDrop on iPhone to share your contact information with new people
You can use NameDrop to quickly share contact information with a nearby iPhone. To use NameDrop:
- Hold the top of your iPhone near the top of someone else’s iPhone to share your contact.
- A glow emerge from the top of both devices to indicate a connection is being made. Continue holding and NameDrop will appear on both screens.
- You and the recipient can then select the following:
- Receive Only: Receive the other iPhone’s contact card.
- Share: Receive the other iPhone’s contact card, and share your own as well.
- To cancel, move the two devices away from each other before NameDrop completes.
Note: NameDrop only works for sending new contact information, not updating an existing contact."
Additional details can be found here: Use NameDrop on iPhone to share your contact info
If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Did you attempt to use this with another device currently on iOS 17?
Cheers!
