problem saving .vcf from text message to iphone contact file

I have iOS 11.3. When someone sends me a .vcf contact file via text or email, it will not save the contact card to my iphone. This started when I upgraded from iOS 10.x to 11.3. I go through the following steps:

1. click on the .vcf file from the text message

2. scroll down press "Create New Contact"

3. Press "Done" in the upper right corner of the screen.

I then go to the contacts app and it is not there. It doesn't save.

Any ideas on this?

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 and already tried network reset. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Receiving contacts I have an iPhone 11 and all the software is up to date. When I share contacts I have no issues, when I receive contacts through message they show as a VCARD and cant be saved. How can i rectify this so they show as a contact that can be saved?
