If you're looking to use codes with phone contacts on iPhones, you might be interested in Contact Key Verification features. These features allow you to verify that you're communicating with the intended person by comparing unique codes. Here's a quick guide on how to use:


1)Enable Contact Key Verification

-> Open the Settings app

-> Tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen

->Select Contact Key Verification and toggle it on.

2)Generate Verification Codes:

-> Open the Messages app

->Tap the person's name at the top of the conversation

-> Scroll down and tap VERIFY CONTACT *Both you and your contact will see a verification code. Compare the codes on both devices

3)Share Public Verification Code:

-> Go to Settings > [your name > Contact Key Verification

-> Tap SHOW PUBLIC VERIFICATION CODE and share it via message or social media.
