If anyone requests your Contact Details or that of someone in your Contacts List, you can send this information in the form of a vCard, which is considered to be the standard method of sharing contact information on the internet.
You can send Contact Details in the form of vCard using the built-in “Share Contact” feature as available on iPhone, which provides the option to send the vCard using AirDrop, iMessage, Email, WhatsApp and other apps.
The vCard format is supported on iOS, Android, Windows and most associated third-part Contact Apps.
