What is a Contact Card?
Purpose:
Linq Contact Cards let users instantly share their verified business identity over iMessage, ensuring recipients save the sender’s number with proper context and boosting trust.
🔹 What Is a Linq Contact Card?
A Linq Contact Card includes the following information that is automatically pushed to recipients:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Name | Linq Test |
| Phone | (555) 555-5555 |
| Picture | Profile Picture Here |
🔹 How Contact Cards Work
-
Sent Natively in iMessage:
-
Appears as an Apple-native “contact” preview card (not a file attachment).
-
Shows your name and profile image in recipients' text inboxes, even if they don't add you to their contact list.
-
-
Saveable to Contacts:
-
Recipients can tap → “Add to Contacts.”
-
Saves your name, picture, and number into their iPhone address book.

When recipients save your number, Apple begins associating it with your verified business name, reducing “Spam Likely” incidents.
