# Sharing your profile

> NFC, QR, AirDrop, WhatsApp, or a link — and how to share with no signal.

## Ways to share

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="NFC tap" icon="wifi">
    The visitor holds their phone near your Tap card or tag. Nothing to aim, no app on their side.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Link" icon="link">
    Copy your profile link and paste it anywhere — a chat, an email signature, a video call.
  </Card>

  <Card title="QR code" icon="qrcode">
    They scan a code from your screen. Works at distance and on every phone.
  </Card>

  <Card title="AirDrop" icon="share-nodes">
    Send your profile to a nearby Apple device.
  </Card>

  <Card title="WhatsApp or email" icon="paper-plane">
    Send your profile link in a message, with the text pre-filled.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Sharing without internet

There's a dedicated **share without internet** mode that shows a QR code working with no connection at all.

<Tip>
  This is the single most useful thing to know before a conference. Exhibition halls routinely have saturated mobile networks and unusable guest wifi, and it's precisely when everyone is trying to share contacts at once that connectivity dies. Learn where this screen is *before* you need it.
</Tip>

Captured leads also queue offline and sync when you reconnect — just don't sign out while captures are still pending.

## Customising your QR code

Your QR code doesn't have to look generic. You can change:

* **Colours** — match your brand
* **Logo** — put your mark in the centre
* **Pattern** — the dot style

<Warning>
  Test a customised code by scanning it with a different phone before you rely on it. Heavy colour customisation — particularly low contrast between the code and its background — can make a code slow or impossible to scan, and an event is a bad place to discover that.
</Warning>

You can also download the QR code as an image for a slide, a booth banner, or an email signature, and add your profile to your phone's home screen for one-tap access.

## Wallet passes

Add your profile to **Apple Wallet** or **Google Wallet** so it's reachable from the lock screen. See [Wallet passes](/en/mobile/wallet-passes).

## Which to use when

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Close conversation, one person — NFC" icon="handshake">
    Fastest and most memorable. Someone who's never seen NFC tends to remember the interaction, which is worth something where every booth blurs together.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Across a table, or a group — QR" icon="users">
    Works at distance, and several people can scan the same code at once. Also your fallback when NFC doesn't cooperate.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Not in the room — link" icon="paper-plane">
    WhatsApp, email, follow-ups, signatures, video calls.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  Lead with NFC and keep the QR one tap away. Reaching for a fallback smoothly looks prepared; fumbling looks like the technology failed.
</Tip>

## When NFC doesn't work

NFC depends on the visitor's phone, not yours.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check it's enabled">
    Some Android phones ship with NFC off.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Move the phone">
    The antenna is at the **top edge** on iPhone and usually the **centre of the back** on Android. Slide it around slowly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Consider the case">
    Thick cases, metal cases, and wallet cases with cards in them all interfere.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switch to QR">
    Don't spend thirty seconds debugging someone else's phone in front of them.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens after you share

The visitor's browser opens your profile — no app install. They see your links and fill in your [capture form](/en/leads/lead-capture-forms) if you have lead capture switched on. The lead appears immediately in the app and in Tap Teams.

<Tip>
  On a Pro+ plan you can replace that browser moment on iPhone. With [Tailored Exchange](/en/mobile/tailored-exchange) switched on for a card, tapping it shows your own branded card on their screen instead of opening Safari — still with nothing to install.
</Tip>

## At an event

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Test in the venue on arrival" icon="vial">
    Capture one test lead before the doors open.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Keep screen brightness up" icon="sun">
    A dim screen under exhibition lighting makes QR codes slow to scan.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Bring a battery pack" icon="battery-half">
    A day of NFC, screen-on time, and recording drains a phone fast, and a dead phone captures nothing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Know the offline screen" icon="wifi-slash">
    Worth repeating: find it before the network fails, not after.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
