Will my name and contact photo show for others who don’t have my number?

If I text someone for the very first time who doesn’t have my number saved but I have theirs saved, will they see my name and contact photo? Or would they have to have my number saved for that to pop up?

Depends.


If you are texting them over SMS (green bubble) then no, they won't see your name or picture unless they add your number to their device and add a picture for you.


If you send them an iMessage (blue bubble), then they might if you have the option to "Share Name and Photo" turned on in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Messages.
